The most reasonable approach, I guess.

Firefox user since ever. Never looked anywhere.

Will take a look, thanks

The terminal commands have same idea and structure and apply to the entirety of your system. While it is still sometimes annoying to learn CLI commands of third-party apps (yes, I know of man, but it can be useless without examples at times), commands are generally the same for Linux systems and they cover everything.

Learning vim is like learning Linux terminal again, but for just one task of word processing in one specific application. Why?

With that being said, I’d rather solve most of my problems with GUI applications rather than go into a terminal. I can do stuff through terminal - I know basics of Linux/Unix commands - but just why? For most routine tasks, it is simply faster and easier to go with GUI, unless you are over SSH or just have a terminal-only instance, or unless you’re a sysadmin that does it 20 times each day and have muscle memory running in front of thinking what you wanna do.

I know how to update packages through terminal - the thing you demonstrate. But I can also press two buttons in app store and it will all be done for me, so why bother? (Also, you call it three steps, but it’s kinda two steps on Debian or other apt-based distros followed by one step in Arch and other pacman-enabled ones? I’m confused)

I’m certainly not gonna use terminal for word processing unless I absolutely have to. And for that, I’ll pick nano.

Linux has to get more user-friendly - and it does. Most people are not die-hard terminal fanatics and want to get their stuff done with minimal headache - and that’s where it goes and should go. Being vim elitist doubles down on that terminal philosophy that is alien to an average user. And we should not discourage any type of user to try Linux for as long as they are willing to figure truly necessary stuff out.

Fair enough.

I guess someone can make use of this all, just not regular users. Besides, the controls are very legacy and it would make sense to make an updated version just to keep it more in line with tools people are used to and generally enhance user experience.

A new media for the new generation. In an era of ever-growing flow of information, it’s only natural pieces are more and more condensed and visual. That’s how we got here.

It’s a trap

You just kindly described why no one ever should use Vim :D

Using xyzbdvefsisgshs to copy-paste a line is not the level of convenience someone expects from a modern tool

There is a demand, and there is a supply. Decentralization trends lead more and more people to self-host, and you can’t get around it any other way.

But also self-hosted (the central server, i.e. “lighthouse”) and open-source

Sure, and here we can agree.

Just saying that Talibani Islam is as far from actual Islam as Greenland from Australia.

Not agreeing on comparing the evils, but there is a true point in that such stories are hard to verify. We should remember that regardless of our stances in the conflict.

Sadly, not really - didn’t go deep into various options.

But maybe someone else can help?

Not the commenter, but I assume they talk about the nature of Abrahamic religions.

Technically, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just three updates of the same religion. First came Torah, then it got transformed into the Old Testament and completed with the New one to get the Bible, and then Bible itself got completed to get Quran.

With that came one abrahamic God - referred to as Yahweh in Judaism, Trinity in Christianity (note: Islam goes back and denies Trinity and godly nature of Jesus, calling him a prophet, not element of God, and rolling back on Holy Spirit, too, reinstating Father God as the only source of godly power), and Allah in Islam.

Thereby cancelling Allah means also cancelling Trinity and Yahweh, as they’re actually one and the same.

As well described in another comment thread, Quran literally encourages everyone to learn, with no gendered distinction made.

You may easily write off bigotry on religion, but it’s literally them doing some crazy shit and covering with religion that clearly says not to do this.

That’s same as many American Christians literally ignoring the Bible, but this time way more consequential. Bigots will stick to religion as an instrument of power and hope nobody actually reads the sacred books, because they never said all those things. Should there be no religion, they’d use something else.

That is not to say religions are flawless. But bigotry just uses religion as a cover, it doesn’t come from it.

They know full well we hate them, that wouldn’t help, and would vent the anger we need to make an actual sensible change.

RISC-V should be fine, if price, performance, software support, and form-factors are all okay for you.

For most, it isn’t, but if you wanna go such great lenghts, I’d say you have a chance.

You might be right on that - you know, everyone faced the challenge to find the right Debian installer :D

Wow, good luck with your project!

Well, it’s obviously dictated by hardware and the software that manufacturers release for it. I’m not calling enthusiasts to reverse engineer every single driver, that’s impossible.

The point is, there is a lot of proprietary blobs in everyone’s systems, and it’s not cool. If you ask me, we should obviously shift policies to force manufacturers to open source drivers and management systems.

Thanks for adding up!
