I’m not saying there’s nowhere left for tech to improve, especially in the medical and biotech space, but in the consumer market there’s only so much we realistically need. It has been addressed, end of sentence,
Im just gonna leave a few Quotes here:
When we set the upper limit of PC-DOS at 640K, we thought nobody would ever need that much memory.
William Gates, 1985
In 1894, Albert A. Michelson remarked that in physics there were no more fundamental discoveries to be made. Quoting Lord Kelvin, he continued, “An eminent physicist remarked that the future truths of physical science are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals.
Saying that IT (or most big industry in general) has nothing left to do except for selling stupid stuff, just because capitalism requires it is straight up delusional.

I have and I would not recommend starting to rely on it for certain things.

Heroic has built in support for gog, epic games and I think amazon games, but don’t quote me on that. Its all in all very good and at least for me it always worked better than trying to achieve the same over lutris.

Of course. What do you think vim users do?

Why is this post not mentioning the most important editor of all time? Why is this post deliberately missing out the standard text editor ed, that wastes no system resource on unnecessary output like help messages or a text buffer. If you are coming to Linux you should really start looking into learning ed, since, well it is the standard Texteditor overall.

Once I got used to the motions, using any text editor without vim motions felt unusable to me.
Same for emacs. At this point my emacs keybindings feel more intuitive to me than the standard keybinds like Ctrl+C/-V to copy and paste (in emacs its Meta + W to copy and CTRL + Y to paste (Yank))

use a normal damn GUI text editor
The right choice as long as you don’t want to edit code/config files. Trust me, writing code inside libre office is not fun.

You usually don’t take the time to learn vim or Emacs just to write some notes. The real value of such powerful and highly customisable text editors only shows itself when you are editing lots and lots of text on a regular basis (e.g. codimg, writing blogs or any other form of writing)
The advantage vim and emacs have is, that they have keybindings for about everything you could ever want. This has the advantage, that once you know how to use them, your working speed massively increases, but it takes quite some time to learn the keybindings. Another advantage and disadvantage of (neo) vim and emacs is, that both are being modified by config files. This comes at the advantage of being able to modify about everything about your editor, but means that sometimes it can be quite hard to implement a specific behaviour. The next advantage is, that your configuration becomes easily portable and extensible. Implementing a specific behaviour often only requires copy pasting a 15 year old stackoverflow post and if you want to move to a new device, you just have to grab your config files and are good to go.
Emacs also has orgmode directly integrated into it, which can be used to write text and format it (similar to Markdown, but much more powerful) and even export it to other formats like HTML or LaTeX. As you might expect, orgmode also has its own keybindings. This means, that you can write your documents inside emacs [orgmode], use all the powerful text formatting tools and keybindings and then share your work in a nicely formatted and portable way.
Personally I can highly recommend combining emacs orgmode with LaTeX. It gives you the full power of LaTeX, but without having to deal with all of its ins and outs just for basic text formatting.
