How to indent wrapped lines in visual-line-mode / org-indent-mode
after the first line?

I'm in the process of trying to set up emacs to be comfortable enough
to replace vim as my daily driver, but one issue I have that I cannot
figure out how to change is the indentation of wrapped lines in visual
line mode.

In vim, I currently have it set up so that when a line soft wraps, it
will be indented by one tab width compared to the first line, as seen
here: [https://imgur.com/X6GTuaL](https://imgur.com/X6GTuaL)

In emacs, I have visual-line-mode and org-indent-mode enabled, which
makes the soft wrapped lines flush with the first line (seen here:
[https://imgur.com/4xfBZnJ](https://imgur.com/4xfBZnJ)). I searched
through google and any settings I could think of, but cannot find a
way to indent the wrapped lines in emacs the same was as it is in vim.

Is there a setting I'm missing, or a package that will do this for me?
If not, is this something that could be done in lisp?

You can do this using [adaptive-
wrap](https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/adaptive-wrap.html) like this:

    (use-package 'adaptive-wrap)
    (setq adaptive-wrap-extra-indent 2)
    (adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode)
