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 is feelings and empathy rolled into the terminal multiplexer we never knew we needed.
No, that's Zellij
Multiplexing

But with Linux, you can init=/bin/vim
Why settle for running vim on your os when vim can just be your os?
I'm glad I noticed what community this was posted in before I responded.
It's free and runs stuff good.
da penguin!!!!
This is the right answer
Nothing. I hate having control over my personal property.
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.

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.
- 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.

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.
No spyware, much better performance and wear on your hardware. Actual control over your devices. The downside is, linux is complicated and a pain to learn how to use or maintain. Windows is easy to use but so is a vtech laptop which is essentiallly the trade off. It used to be that windows was easy to use and open as a platform, but microsoft is doing everything in its power to ruin windows. The modern developers also really suck and the modern codebase is buggy as hell. The OS kills your harddisks and ssds, even before the new broekn update because they are constantly scanning your files to send signitures to palantir or whatever. They are removing basic functionality and a few years from now I imagine you wont even be allowed to close or open apps, like with Android. It will just be full of ads and spyware and you will have to pay a subscription to use it or something. People have been jumping ship because at this point continuing to use windows is just going to make your life painful in the future.
linux is complicated
windows is easy
Speak for yourself there mate lol

I find Linux far easier to use than anything else because most decent distros come with all the software I want, or it is trivial to install, and it's all free.
Most of that software is available for Apple or Windows, but it's a PITA to install. Giant waste of time. And money, of course. And of you install Windows, you gotta manually disable all the shit advertising.
All of that without needing the command line, even.

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.
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).
Yes, windows is definitely the king of user experience, with no other os I had the privilege of being able to max out my ram in idle while having Microsoft and google spy on my every move… the ui is another thing, who doesn’t love to have an inconsistent ui, you have to pay for to customise it :3
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.
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.
Linux does not care if the user is still in the vim age or has already progressed to good editors.

I honestly don’t know. Every OS has its goods & bads. But generally I think it just comes down to whatever’s available. Personally, I use:
- Windows on my work laptop (because that’s what they gave me),
- MacOS on my personal laptop (because I like it),
- Ubuntu on my home automation / media server (because it was free).
Similar here but in reverse
- macOSX on my work laptop
- windows n my home laptop
- raspbian and Ubuntu on my home servers
- Rocky and Amazon Linux on my work servers
- but realistically most of my non-work activity is on iOS
