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

It’s all about the penguins
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.
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✨
da penguin!!!
This is the right answer
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. 😏
Wanted to reply until I saw its a shitpost… You nearly had me :D
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
You missed the body text of the post.
- Lighter
- Better on weaker hardware
- More options how you set up your system: Desktop Environments/Window Managers.
- Free and Open Source (so no paying out the arse for Windows).
- More Software options.
- Better Security.
- No monitoring by your OS provider.
Seriously, do people pay for windows? I’ve transitioned one copy I got on my laptop a dozen years ago through a few separate pc builds. And duplicated another key, which was quite easy. The verifications for windows are super easy to bypass by a non-tech intelligent user
do people pay for windows?
Yes. When you buy your computer, the cost of Windows is added onto the computer’s cost. Just for context, a Dell XPS 13 Laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled is £1,149.01, with Windows it’s £1,199.00. When you get the chance to have Linux preinstalled or even just have no OS pre installed, you find it’s cheaper than having Windows Preinstalled.
That’s for laptops, not desktops
It’s the same for desktops. There’s no difference between Operating systems for laptops or desktops. Your can use the same install media for both with little to no difference.
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.
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.
Thought about downvoting, then realized it is top-tier.
Vim does care, but it doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.
Vi also cares, but not about feelings.
What does tmux think?
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
Tmux is feelings and empathy rolled into the terminal multiplexer we never knew we needed.
No, that’s Zellij
Multiplexing
What finally pushed me over the edge was when I was trying to fix something in Windows and it said I couldn’t access that part of the OS. Bitch, you work for me, not the other way around. I’ve flopped back and forth between Linux and Windows for decades and just decided that anything I couldn’t do in Linux I just wouldn’t do. So far, I haven’t really encountered anything. With how much of my average computing is done in a browser these days, Firefox doesn’t really care which OS it’s running on.
I’m glad I noticed what community this was posted in before I responded.
