    Vim doesn’t care if it’s running in Linux or Windows or macOS

    Nothing. I hate having control over my personal property.

      But with Linux, you can init=/bin/vim

      Why settle for running vim on your os when vim can just be your os?

      you can still start a shell or /sbin/init from within vim, in the odd case you'd need it!

        Now youve overwritten older dependencies and three of your other programs now shit the bed.

        pacman exists specifically to solve dependency issues and prevent that exact scenario

          The difference is really, I dont have to look stuff up usually to change things on windows. In linux you have to do most things with obscure shell commands and arguments that i dont know.

          How many years of Windows experience do you have?

          If you had that many years of experience on Linux then the shell commands and arguments wouldn’t be obscure.

          Now’s the best time to learn, there’s a lot of other beginners now so the Linux communities are full of people learning at the same time as you would be.

            Vim is kinda like a game. Except instead of a, s, w, d its h, j, k, l

            And, if you’re new it’s also an escape room.

              Forget GNU/Linux, VIM/Linux is where it is at.

              But say it too loud and we are going to end up with a systemd-vim

                Tmux can make you feel all the feelings simultaneously

                  Idk if it’s simultaneous, but it definitely makes it really easy to jump between the feelings rapidly

                            How many basic users do you think build their own desktops and not just buy a pre built?

                            This was about how many normal people buy Windows, not how many of a very small percentage/niche buy Windows. Please don't move the goal post mid-game.

                            For desktops, I would assume most people are building their own, yes.
