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

        Makes dumb people feel smart.

        Gives people who lack agency in life something they use to look down on others, despite no one caring.

        For a tiny majority that have them. It is a useful red flag for your loved ones, that the slide of mental illness continues.

        They secretly desire to be seen as hackers by others; reality is they are hacks.

        They lack the ability to enjoy self deprecating humor and handle feelings but this is most often expressed by downvoting.

        The inky blackness of terminal screens to sates their inner emo.

        The entirety of bioinformatics runs on Linux. I doubt you'd be able to clear an entry level exam to join a bioinformatics program.

          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.

            They are all downvoting my shit comment to a shitpost, so they're all proving it correct.

            Most people who use Linux don't tie their personality to it. I've long suspected that Lemmy has few of those.

              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).

                        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?
