Vim’s keybinds are intuitive and Nano’s keybinds are completely unusable, if you’re asking me. I cannot use Nano without becoming horribly frustrated immediately. The reason “how to exit Vim” is a meme, is because everyone’s been there, one time. The difference is that you never stop not knowing how to exit Nano. I also hate Emacs’ default keybinds, but that’s mostly because I don’t want carpal tunnel syndrome, so that’s a different issue; Emacs’ keybinds actually do make some amount of sense, in all honesty, even though they’re objectively dangerous. Gun to my head, I could probably, technically “use” vanilla Emacs albeit with some difficulty. I cannot possibly use Nano and I would rather get shot.

Imagine day walking, lol.

I used to work nights at a grocery store. The break room coffee was made by a recovering meth addict, and was basically the next “best” thing if only in theory.

Yes; the difference with NixOS is that you can go way longer than you ever should without updating it, and then do a full system upgrade, and then turn around and walk away without ever having to worry about anything breaking.

Okay, yeah. That’s exactly what I was afraid of, and thanks for telling me. It’s as literally dystopian as I was had assumed. Great.

Eh. I don’t have kids and I use the left back burner because I always have. It is what it is.

Lol.

I’m quite a bit older than you think and even more naïve, I promise.

Are you afraid of becoming addicted? Or just that they won’t give you pills when you need them?

Kinda both, although more so the latter, tbh.

My dad uses NixOS. My dad knows precisely nothing about computers; just ask him, he’ll tell you. I figure, since he’s gonna call me for free tech support no matter what operating system he has, anyway, I might as well make everything as reproducible as possible for my own sake. I tried putting Debian testing on his computer, and honestly, that was actually pretty good except that I had to update it for him at least once a week in order to keep everything running smoothly, lol.
