From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you know that Vim has an Easy mode? It's the hardest mode for those already familiar with Vim 🙃

For a vim user it's going to cause panic.

Copy and paste suddenly become illogical keybindings like ctrl+c and ctrl+v

For closing the program you have to press a very weird X instead of the much more natural :wq

And so on

I would be so confused and so very angry at the end. I had a hard enough time working inside vim-tiny.
