I would pay out the ass for someone to rig Debian with Shepherd as an init. That'd be the day, apt + guix. Aptix? Guixbian? OH GREAT SAINT DAVIS, BESTOW UPON ME THY DIVINE INTELLECT THAT I MAY BRING SHEPHERDBIANDEBGUIX TO LIFE!

I'm making my own new distro based on Mint where Nano is the default- and only-allowable text editor, no other changes made, I call it NanOS, by Hakase Shinonome. It'll be a fork of Mint, which is forked off Ubuntu, which is forked off Debian. It'll be entirely dependant off Mint, which is already dependant on Ubuntu which is already depedant on Debian which is already dependant on the Linux kernel. But you'll have the worst text editor, I think that's worth it.

I'm gonna bite here, I've had no issues with nano because a text editor is a text editor. You're using it to keep a tally of something or a reminder to put the bins out.

The only times I'll sperg out about FOSS programs is Gimp (which is fucking dogshit and when I'm lord ruler of the world I'm having the developers tied to a post and shot) and how it took like 15 years for a decent foobar alternative (deadbeef) to pop up.

People complain about vim's weird way to quit out of it (:q/:wq), but every single time, without fail, I get completely confused as to what the hell I'm doing in nano, how the fuck do I get out, get out, get out, what do you mean it's not saved, just let me out, now, let me out, get out, get out, now, let me out, now, please.

GIMP is pure anal dogshit, and so is KDENlive. I use Pinta and FFMPEG for photo- and video editing instead, and for major workloads, Paint dot Net and Vegas Pro on Windows. I cannot stand GIMP or KDENlive so badly that I resort to using Windows.

The funny thing about Nano is it has a pretty complete configuration file in /etc that gives you a properly colorized UI, a page margin, status bar, and line numbers as well as tabbing preferences. Once you uncomment the settings you care about it's a night and day difference. It's like the kei car of text editors, not going to be a jack of all trades but does what it can fine enough.

I guess I just fell for the "vim makes me more productive" gag, but I've gotten too comfortable with vim to use any other terminal based text editor. I'm sure nano's fine, I'd use it for the name alone, but I hadn't had good experiences with it in the past.

nano has improved syntax highlighting too if you set it up. I think nano is fine for quick edits of various config stuff, and to be fair that is what many are going to be mainly using a terminal text editor for anyways. But if you do live through the terminal then you are probably already using vi* or emacs already so there is no reason not to just use either for everything.

Welcome home, brother.

Can't wait to hear when you start fiddling with the wonderful world of DX9 gaming. All the titles you would be lucky to get a launcher to start up for, yet never actually play some 10-15 years ago now run flawelessly... unless you're using Wayland, where AAA games of yesteryear like the Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy, Assassin's Creed 1, the Devil May Cry HD Collection, Morrowind, Oblivion, and so on have odd breakages under GE-Proton and Valve Proton, but not wine-staging... and even if they don't necessarily have "breakages," the launchers and intro FMVs won't bloody work unless you're using X11. But don't you dare tell any Wayland or compositor developers that, otherwise they'll be going USECASESOYJAK.jpg, WONTFIX/NOTABUG your reports, and deem you an undesirable Nazi chud who should die... but still totally donate to perpetuate the future of Wayland, GNOME Shell, Plasma 6, and so on.

If the last 5 years are anything to go by, chimping out gives you power and the results that you want. What you're describing is a more limp-wristed, passive aggressive version. I'd say all you have to do is not care and collectively declare so, but it's almost impossible in techie circles. Throw a rock in any of them and you'll hit le rational, Vulcan LARPing paragon of reason who will waste your entire day trying to argue that this violates a logical clause or other similar bullshit. Hopefully the tide turns at some point in the future.
