    Does “Linux” itself count? I can’t even remember the last time I had anything running Linux have a system crash.

    foot has been pretty solid for me. No complaints.

    GNU nano.

    I don’t know why I bothered using Vim, Neovim, Micro, mg, and JOE for so long, when nano was always there (though not necessarily OOTB), configurable with all of the features I used in the other editors, and has never broken as long as I’ve been using it.

    The only editor I may leave it for would be Emacs, and that would be more for the extension scripts and an excuse to learn ELisp than anything else.

        here you go: systemd is so much better then sysv-init, it’s not even funny

        I really can’t take people serious that think sysv-init was the superior system. I mean for real, have you ever worked with it and all it’s shortcomings? It wasnt even a system, it was a bunch of bad init scripts

      If I can’t play it in MPV, I don’t wanna play it.

      Everything else feels like going back to the stone age. No offense to VLC fans. VLC is cool too, and I still recommend it because of its simpler GUI. But MPV is the MVP.
