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

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.
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
Use NixOS and run Arch in a VM.
….genius
It’s because I use Arch. 😏
Gaming. I know Steam has done a lot for Linux gaming but most game developers focus on Windows.
Not all games run on Linux and some require extra steps. Some wont run on Linux, period. Driver supports and new features are always windows first.
Some people use other store fronts, other than Steam. It is a pain to run them on Linux. there are several launchers on Linux but they don’t work for all games and support is not consistent.
For gaming, it is still windows, not Linux or Mac OS.
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.
After this last windows 10 update, now windows hangs on cryptographic service. There’s no fix for this shit and no hope to fixing my computer… My HDD…but I restart boot my default OS Linux on its own SSD from Grub. If I want to go suffer I reboot into the piece of shit windows system. So that’s the appeal of Linux.
Linux does not care if the user is still in the vim age or has already progressed to good editors.
…like?
Nearly everything that edits text. Maybe with the lone exception of edlin or sed.
Exactly, like neovim for example.
Ok I lied. I don’t actually use vim, I use neovim. But I don’t daily drive Linux or windows, and neovim does kinda unify my local editing vs ssh experience. So only 50% a shitpost.
I mean, I use vim when I have to, but I have a pretty crazy neovim config I prefer. Also shoutout to stow for helping me sync my neovim config across systems.
I’m glad I noticed what community this was posted in before I responded.
Thought about downvoting, then realized it is top-tier.
But with Linux, you can init=/bin/vim
Why settle for running vim on your os when vim can just be your os?
✨EXACTLY✨
you can still start a shell or /sbin/init from within vim, in the odd case you’d need it!
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
systemd-vim gave me nightmares, thanks!!
I like your funny words magic man
Vim does care, but it doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.
Vi also cares, but not about feelings.
What does tmux think?
Multiplexing
Tmux is feelings and empathy rolled into the terminal multiplexer we never knew we needed.
No, that’s Zellij
Tmux can make you feel all the feelings simultaneously
Idk if it’s simultaneous, but it definitely makes it really easy to jump between the feelings rapidly
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).
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.
It’s free and runs stuff good.
It’s supposedly easier to breath with your nose angled that high up in the air.
Yes, but the air is also thinner up here
Extra work
