Vim doesn’t care if it’s running in Linux or Windows or macOS
You must log in or # to comment.
But with Linux, you can init=/bin/vim
Why settle for running vim on your os when vim can just be your os?
✨EXACTLY✨
I like your funny words magic man
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!!
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.
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. 😏
- 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.
For desktops, I would assume most people are building their own, yes.
It’s all about the penguins
I like forward slashes
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

It depends on the user. If you’ll install GNU/Linux distribution as a nooby, choose some easy distribution - most probably it will install a lot of bloatware, and possibly could be unstable… But if you’ll go into details and learn the basic you could install some better distro, which you will install manually, and you will install all you need, no bloat. If you will, here are the perks:
- Stability (it also depends on your hardware… NVIDIA for example is pretty bad, but Intel or AMD is great. Must be better stability than on Windows, if you’ll not fk up)
- Performance (since you installed everything by yourself, and you will have no bloat, telemetry and etc. you will run the OS with great performance)
- Security (vulns on big distros are getting fixed fastly, and there are less vulns than on Windows, also less viruses you could get on a desktop)
- Customizability (you could change anything you want, desktop environment, sometimes init system, pretty much anything but it depends on a distro and your skills)
Me, as a… I would say half a professional GNU/Linux user, would recommend Void Linux for half-experienced or experienced user, because I like the runit init system and the stability, even though it’s rolling model.
But for a newbie… I don’t know. All of them I tried - they had problems. So it’s better to either endure, either start from a not-so-hard distro like Void Linux.
EDIT: oh yeah… I read a lot of comments here and I would also add that the system is free, open-source (with Linux-libre), and it’s also not so bad at gaming since Steam made Proton, a fork of Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator). I also game sometimes and I use Lutris… Don’t know if there any other cooler alternative heh.
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

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.
You like the sound of your own typing.
Oh, now this is a shitpost.
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
