I feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

With an equal amount of snobbery.
Even when they get a new user on Linux, they still then scrutinise their choice of distribution, if not that then their IDE. There's no winning and it's off-putting for people considering the jump.
I was simply offering a suggestion. The original poster used the term 'FOSS' to describe Ubuntu GNU/Linux, which isn't entirely accurate, as Ubuntu includes non-free software by default.
My intention was to ensure they were informed about it. The whole point of GNU/Linux is to make sure that every computer user has freedom. If you think sharing information and teaching people is bad, maybe you're using the wrong operating system.
What do you need an IDE for when vim can do everything you need?
What do you need vim for when Emacs has everything (including vim)?
(jk, I don't care about Emacs or vim; I'm a nano peasant)
