What’s even the appeal of Linux?
-
Vim doesn’t care if it’s running in Linux or Windows or macOS
It's free and runs stuff good.

Nerds back in the 90s read a bunch of headlines about Microsoft being evil and made hating Microsoft their personality. These nerds now use Linux but also use shit like Google and Twitter that has fucked up society worse than Microsoft ever could.
I genuinely cannot imagine having my head this far up my own ass.

Everyone ends up going back to windows for the better user experience anyway. Which is why Linux is an acronym for Linux Is Not UX (user experience).
Yes, windows is definitely the king of user experience, with no other os I had the privilege of being able to max out my ram in idle while having Microsoft and google spy on my every move… the ui is another thing, who doesn’t love to have an inconsistent ui, you have to pay for to customise it :3

It's free. What is vim?
An Emacs clone.

Linux does not care if the user is still in the vim age or has already progressed to good editors.

...like?

Tmux is feelings and empathy rolled into the terminal multiplexer we never knew we needed.
No, that's Zellij

I know I'm a weirdo, but I prefer the terminal, that's why I made the switch to Linux from windows 17 years ago.

That when I eventually get sound working again I can feel good about fixing something. One month now without sound and having to use Windows. Will probably have to reinstall because I've tried everything that could find on the internet to fix it without success.

Exactly, like neovim for example.

Which is a nano clone.

It’s supposedly easier to breath with your nose angled that high up in the air.

No spyware, much better performance and wear on your hardware. Actual control over your devices. The downside is, linux is complicated and a pain to learn how to use or maintain. Windows is easy to use but so is a vtech laptop which is essentiallly the trade off. It used to be that windows was easy to use and open as a platform, but microsoft is doing everything in its power to ruin windows. The modern developers also really suck and the modern codebase is buggy as hell. The OS kills your harddisks and ssds, even before the new broekn update because they are constantly scanning your files to send signitures to palantir or whatever. They are removing basic functionality and a few years from now I imagine you wont even be allowed to close or open apps, like with Android. It will just be full of ads and spyware and you will have to pay a subscription to use it or something. People have been jumping ship because at this point continuing to use windows is just going to make your life painful in the future.

I find Linux far easier to use than anything else because most decent distros come with all the software I want, or it is trivial to install, and it's all free.
Most of that software is available for Apple or Windows, but it's a PITA to install. Giant waste of time. And money, of course. And of you install Windows, you gotta manually disable all the shit advertising.
All of that without needing the command line, even.
