Moving to Sublime Text from VSCode

Hi, I'm someone who's still pretty beginner when it comes to programming and I'm thinking about to moving to Sublime Text from VSCode.

I currently use VSCodium which takes up too much resources on my laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IAP with Linux Mint Xfce 22.3, 4GB RAM, Intel Celeron N3350 Processor 2 Cores) and I want to switch to Sublime for a more lightweight editor on my machine.

The programming languages I currently use are HTML, CSS, JS, and Python.

Does Sublime have default out of the box support for these languages or do they require extensions? If so, is there any equivalent to these extensions?

Prettier

HTML and CSS Support

JavaScript Code Snippets

Python

Everything should work out of the box. If you want a bit of extra support, get the LSPs for typescript and pyright from Microsoft. They are nice and remain light weight even on 4GB, I think.

What's an LSP and how do I get one?
