macOS installs a recovery partition and hides it from you so you can always restore it.

I think the firmware boots you into a macOS mode so you can always recover your macOS system, but when you finished installation Linux may have nuked it.

I’m not an expert though, I’ve just been using Mac’s for 15+ years and have had to reformat several over the years.

I’ve never installed Linux as the primary OS before.

The second most important thing about vim to learn is:

If nothing is behaving then you probably have caps lock on.

You can always alias > to < in your shell.

The biggest diss I have on emacs users, as a vim user, is that emacs is the only text editor where people routinely need to keep a book about it on their desk!

I used to work with a bunch of emacs guys and they all had an emacs book or two on their desk or as a monitor stand. They usually also had one on awk and/or Perl to go with it.

I’m sure they’d probably make fun of me for being unable to edit a file with anything but my specific vim config, which is not compatible with any other human’s vim config.

(I would never seriously judge someone on their editor, but I will bust an emacs users chops and accept a good natured jab back)

I don’t have much to say about nano, except the hotkey bindings are weird and unnatural.

They make sense, but they feel wrong.

I don’t actually have any qualms with that. Power to the people!
