I agree. I am from India. My whole life I have used Windows. Usage and teaching of Unix / Linux is severely limited to top universities, and only because they copy the US university culture (most professors are US educated)
90% of the articles on the web, are 100% certain that I have a use VIM / Emacs, on a Linux machine.
Where are the articles that focus on the rest of us?
- andai 5y agoWhat kind of articles make assumptions about your preferred text editor? Or do you mean they assume you're on Linux in general?
- jiggawatts 5y agoAs a random example, the justification presented for VS Code using "up arrow" to view the search & replace history is that it matches the "bash standard". Every other Windows text editor in the history of the world uses down-arrow. Similarly, Microsoft broke how clear screen works in both Windows Terminal and VS Code to match the UNIX terminal standard. Hint: Neither of these are standards by any definition, and UNIX people were arguing over both of these things at length themselves. Before we forget: VS Code is made by Microsoft employees and is primarily deployed by people using Microsoft Windows. But it has to adhere to the "standards" that Microsoft developers are used to and expect.
