I was shoved into Linux by a nearly dead HPC expert who was definitely angry about the advent of electricity.

Wasn't given any indication of a text editor, I ran across vim for one reason or another and enjoyed his Palpatine-like reaction from seeing me using vim enough to keep using it. And if you're enjoying something, why not

But yeah, it has some drawbacks lol

Having a mentor like this is unfathomably valuable. The kind that knows exactly when a printer problem should be fixed with a sledgehammer and are not afraid to apply the “fix”.
