    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

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

      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.

        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.

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

                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

                          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.
