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

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
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.
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.
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.
WHAT KEYBOARD DO YOU HAVE??? (I want a nice split one at some point to prevent pains and stuff)
Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro. Pretty sure it was refurbished by Kinesis for a discount
Makes dumb people feel smart
The entirety of bioinformatics runs on Linux. I doubt you’d be able to clear an entry level exam to join a bioinformatics program.
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.
You really want attention, don’t you?
It’s a shit posting sub. This is how it works. It’s not anyone’s safe place. Feelings are the punchline here.
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.
Linux does not care if the user is still in the vim age or has already progressed to good editors.
…like?
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.
Oh, now this is a shitpost.
Well, you actually own it for one, given Linux is an open platform, you’re generally not at some corporation’s will unlike with closed platforms like Windows or even macOS, you’re also not arbitrarily locked out of running it on hardware made before a certain date unlike with Win11; as long as the kernel supports it, it should run on your hardware, where Windows arbitrarily locks out anything older than Zen+ or Kaby Lake without a modded install medium starting with Win11, and it generally uses less resources than Windows nowadays although that varies based on configuration.
da penguin!!!
This is the right answer
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.
If I had that severe a lack of imagination I’d keep it to myself.
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
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?
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
I like your funny words magic man
✨EXACTLY✨
Nothing. I hate having control over my personal property.
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.
I like forward slashes
