@WandererUber gonna drop my 2 cents here: you are trying to learn two things simultaneously which is not ideal: the grammar of vim and how to configure it. imo you should do them one at a time, and really you should not start with any plugins. go through vimtutor like you have and then watch these videos and follow along:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGArLWTHWRw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLzVPdg0lF8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSeQY5x-hbo

that will get you the grammar. for the configuration, now the skys your limit, you could use a distro like lazyvim etc. but when something breaks you may not fully understand why/how to fix it. the ideal state is to have your config from scratch imo but a good middle ground is to use starter templates that you can customize like kikstart.vim ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8C0Cq9Uv9o ) or something more intensive like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx2ksyallYzW4WNYHD9xOFrPRYGlntAft

half the customization really depends on what you are writing and finding ergonomic keybindings to make your own life easier.
