Janus served me well for many years, but it's so damn slow today.
This is still a few hours hack project, but I managed to port most of the useful plugins and configs from Janus, to the awesome and super-fast vim-plug.
To use this distro, you must install Neovim which is the secret weapon to enable all the async non-blocking operations that makes this distro super fast.
git clone https://github.com/brodock/janus-plugged.git ~/.config/nvim
nvim +PlugInstall +qall
npm install -g neovim
pip3 install --user pynvim
