What’s even the appeal of Linux?
-
If I did daily drive Linux I would probably use arch or Nixos so I could flex
Use NixOS and run Arch in a VM.

You really want attention, don't you?
It's a shit posting sub. This is how it works. It's not anyone's safe place. Feelings are the punchline here.

Vim doesn’t care if it’s running in Linux or Windows or macOS
But with Linux, you can init=/bin/vim
Why settle for running vim on your os when vim can just be your os?

It's because I use Arch.

It's crass, juvenile, disingenuous, unsophisticated, and, worst of all; not providing anything to your audience, not even trying to be funny. It serves only to highlight your vices.
Which, you know, can come off if youve got some literary chops, if you ride the lightning between kauffman and plath, or try to do your best rick sanchez. But this isn't that. It's not even a failed attempt to be that. You're using your computer as an excuse to ignore the humanity of others so you can abuse that humanity for human validation.
It is an inchoate display of the ugliness that chokes your otherwise empty little heart.

But I also do spend 8 hours a work day coding in Vim not on Linux. Just to clarify, I’m also not using Windows (gross).
Thats okay, but why ask a question in a shitpost Lemmy and not Linux?
If somebody is posting on shitpost I clearly think the are trolling

Managing multiple versions of python and other dev tooling can be made simple with something like:
Or
Thxs that is useful knowledge.

Because 99% of Lemmy has already made up its mind. At least that my perception. Maybe I’m wrong

Linux tends to get out of your way to let you get shit done. Windows tends to be a marketing platform for Microsoft products that lets you get shit done.
I don't see why my office computer needs some xbox app I can't uninstall.

You like the sound of your own typing.

Nothing. I hate having control over my personal property.

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
