    LOL me writing this, using neovim and a split keyboard to make me feel smart. There is definitly some truth to this. But I never look down upon people for not using the technology I choose. People on here can be really annoying. It’s like the virtue signaling Linux.

        Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro. Pretty sure it was refurbished by Kinesis for a discount

          Number one, I get to tell people that I use Arch. I could anyway, but this way I'm not lying.

          Number two, it's not Micro$oft or Crapple.

          Number three, living in my mother's basement isn't as cost effective as I was hoping it'd be so free helps immensely.

              If I did daily drive Linux I would probably use arch or Nixos so I could flex

                Windows does not come with a desktop, unless you're buying pre built, in which case you don't mind spending extra money for the same product

                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.

                  Use NixOS and run Arch in a VM.

                    It's a shit posting sub. This is how it works. It's not anyone's safe place. Feelings are the punchline here.

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

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

                              But you're not, like, being clever or fun. It's just really crude self validating antagonism where you declare that any engagement is you winning.

                              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

                                      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.
