I remember the time when Linux jokes were about audio drivers and X11 config files, but audio has long been working out of the box, and X11 is already dead and cremated.

Even recompiling kernel now takes around five minutes instead of two hours, so that joke is irrelevant too.

So all we are left with is timeless discussion of which text editor is the best, and dumping on Windows.

This has been a lighthearted fake rivalry for as long as these text editors have existed.

I'd even say as long as text editors have existed at all

That's because we all know which is the obvious superior text editor.

Neovim-HEAD or you’re a boomer.

The AI helps me corrupt my .txt faster.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.

[–] Aussieiuszko@aussie.zone 1 points 14 hours ago

It’s not a war, war implies a fight, it’s a one sided massacre.

So all we are left with is timeless discussion of which text editor is the best, and ~~dumping on Windows.~~ why it is nano
