I don't even use vim as my preferred editor. I use it when it's the default diff tool for git and I haven't yet configured it, or when accessing a remote system where installing an editor is not an option. So your intuition here is not correct.

You can use VS Code on Linux, install XFCE and skin it as macOS, and install Tilix instead of iTerm2. Now it is the same thing.

If it's not vim then it's likely emacs. If not emacs then prob some other console based text editor.

Unlikely for you to be vscode or jetbrains the performance profiles on that are too slow for you plus it's closed source. But at this point it doesn't matter what you say because I wouldn't think you're being honest.

Yeah I can see you saying that. Just reskin Linux and you can have any operating system you want. Windows, Android, macOS... You name it. Maybe you can reskin some Linux distro into openBSD then from there reskin that into macOS. Oh wait a minute.

You can solve the all problems with this technique. Just reskin Linux into anything and then the world will only need one operating system. Makes perfect sense. Not.

There are desktop experiences for Linux catering to every choice of preferences. Some distros even come with everything preinstalled.

If a macOS style experience is your choice, you can try this: https://elementary.io/

I use nixos with hyprland.

I'm already a Linux user. That's your main problem here. Your inability to two view the issue as something other then black or white.
