    Yeah, I do agree. It just bothers me that they’re trying to pass off emulating a Linux installation (under Windows hypervision) as “installing” and refer to a true install as “bare metal”, as if your Windows installation isn’t. But it does give new users a chance to try it out.

    Ugh, I hate this. At a time when many are searching the internet for guides, they’re injecting the search results with “It’s better if you keep Windows. But if you really, really want to, you can go through the COMPLICATED process of installing Linux BARE METAL 😱”



  • Well it’s really noob friendly. The introductory courses in programming all tell you to use it and it takes some time and experience to find alternative editors that 1. you like better, and 2. won’t confuse you more than the course itself does.

    I used to use VSCodium and the Vim extension. Then I downloaded Neovim and started configuring it, but I was never really satisfied with the config. Then I found Doom Emacs. It was pretty much the thing I tried turning Neovim into.

    But I wouldn’t recommend Doom Emacs to a first-year student that is still learning the fundamentals.
