MashedTech , to linuxmemes in Your average Wine enjoyer

No, but it sure is annoying having to switch in the middle of doing something especially when you're working. (Also, there's that pesky thing that happened to me as well where windows doesn't play nice with the Linux boot partition and fucks it up) So there's always going to be a main os. If you're fortunate enough you can use an old laptop for windows. Or, if your computer is powerful enough run an windows VM. For me, Gnome Boxes offered a really easy to use experience of running windows. It worked out of the box, no special tweaks.

MashedTech , to linuxmemes in Songs about Vim

Look, honestly, to me at least, this horse has been dead for a 1000 years and we've been beating it since then. Initially I was as well, "haha funny, what is vim, so hard" and then I happened to interact with it for the first time, did a web search and all the amusement died. If it's like this we should make fun of Ctrl+C as well because "Omg, so hard to terminate a terminal program, there is no X to click on" just because this is non standard for a user that is familiar with only the GUI. We could abstract and transform this meme 1000 times because there will always be somebody who knows how to do something and then there is something else that doesn't work the way he/she/they/etc. are used to and searching for an answer is too hard.

Or am I just dumb, ranting about something that doesn't even matter because in the end there will always be new people, for which vim is new and hard and vim maybe is the most popular thing most of the new users on here have a hard time understanding. Will this meme ever evolve into something else at one point? Was there a precursor to this meme before vim or vi existed? What are other similar memes that I reacted to the same way because I find myself in a similar spot as most people find themselves with vim and I am just a hypocrite?

TL;DR: Just disregard my useless comment, enjoy the things you want to enjoy, and be happy, you only get one life, don't waste it getting mad at useless shit.
