    i just use vim plugins in the other editors i use.

    kate has a vim mode,
    vs code has a vim plugin.
    intellij has a vim plugin.
    obsidian has a vim mode.
    a lot of editors have vim modes.

    if you have a current non vim markdown editor,
    try looking for a vim mode.

    if you dont, obsidian is all about markdown,
    and vs code has a markdown preview plugin.



  • i work in IT, so linux at work was an immediate hit for me.
    It sounds weird, but doing it stuff on linux just feels kinda natural.

    because of work i tried to use it at home (asside from tinkering) but it didn’t work out nearly as well for a long time.
    the lack of game support meant i was mostly on windows.

    but thanks to minecraft and valves linux version of dota and csgo, it evened out.
    and now thanks to proton im almost 99% on linux.

    i like linux for its customizability,
    its centralized & unintrusive updates,
    its advanced features (mdadm, btrfs, powerfull scripting), and because of the controll i have over my system.

    i dislike windows because of the design since win8,
    the lack of controll( bloatware just appears on my start menu, onedrive, cortana, recall),
    intrusive updates (installing updates on shutdown and reboot and “all your files are encrypted exactly where you left them”),
    constantly pestering me about getting the latest release,
    reseting my configurations on updates,
    and the ever changing labyrinth of menus when i need to fix / change something

    😂😂😂 the wonders of unicode / utf-8

    it the reason why you can post in any imaginable writing system from ancient sumerian complaints in cuneiform 𒂍𒀀 𒈾𒍢𒅕 to the goddamn seraphim o “серафими многоꙮ҄читїи҄” that was used exactly once in a single 15century manuscript.

    its also the reason you can post emojis nearly anywhere.
