My first experience with *nix was a professor leading me into a server room though two biometric locks and setting up the config files for a compute cluster faster than I would have been able to open the files.

He was using Vim, and though it took me a while to learn, the sheer speed with which he was able to get us out of that unbelievably noisy server room sold me for life.

Well, I use vim for text edits and nvim+extensions for an IDE. As close to a vim purist as is reasonable. But frankly, it's the first one you learn to use well.

It seems Linux Mint is dropping GNU coreutils in favor of rust-coreutils following Ubuntu. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Yeah, this is the good argument against rust-coreutils. Caring what programming language your binaries are made with? That's pretty out there.
