yeah this
what's with the obsession with emacs and vim, just loving use atom or sublime text or something

Because they're the oldest and most well known. Vim just does what you want. I tried using Atom once and it was a loving mess.

Emacs is the Gnu official text editor. Never used it though

Legitimately. Atom takes literal years to start up. I can open Vim in a few milliseconds and immediately start commiting my changes to whatever git repo I'm working on. Sublime Text is OK, I use it for very quick referencing, but if I'm working on a project full-time, I cannot stand using other text editors. I'm so used to be able to yank an entire line with two keystrokes, replace a bunch of text with a regexp pattern, use macros for something like an if statement/case statement, have syntax checking, have more community support + better package management, and come on nearly *nix distribution. It's just my personal preference, but I'm just saying. Vim is legitimately great.

Accurate.

so am i the only one who uses nano or

[SuperSuit12]

oh yeah, forgot about virtual machines
I'll look into setting one up if I need it. Maybe I should set up a Windows VM too, since I've been messing with removing keystrokes from existence

I use nano when I can't be assed to use Vim (on mobile, ssh). Doesn't work when I'm using Lish on an iPad so I mainly use Vim.

linux is cool man, i like arch but ive also had fun with some other distros (mint, debian, ubuntu, apricity, elementary, etc)

[CRITAWAKETS]

If i ever decide to dual boot linux its probably going to be on mint. Yeah im a pleb and i dont use arch.

Also since i got a new CPU, i dont have virtualization support anymore so VMs are slow.

EDIT: I dont even have a purpose for linux other than PRETTY. Lets just do a list of things i cant do with linux...
Play all my games.
Code in C#.
Have compatibility with all my software.
DirectX.
Have a command interface that makes sense.

Then it's not for you. Simple as that.

how to mess with the login screen on arch linux CLI 101?

[FelipeO_O_]

No. True tech hipsters are too cool for gui or an os. Come back when you're running nothing but a kernel.

Do you know at least  what you are tallking about?
