Maybe it was just me, but I found VSCode's undo/redo vim trees (u/r) to be kind of awkward when compared to real vim.
Thanks for introducing me to this song, I like it a lot! I can't really think of a song like that, but most of the time I'm just treating the vocals as another instrument and not paying too much attention to the lyrics.
I completely agree. But most people don't see how significant free software is (e.g., OP's friend is using Windows). If a libre system means a worse experience for the user, many won't care enough to stick with it.
Linux with proprietary software is at least a step in the right direction; I agree that it's not the final destination though.
I like using the tool called "import". It's a command line program that takes a filename for it to write to. It gives you the option to write whatever save name logic you want around it.
Is it possible the rough edges of Trisquel would turn OP's friend off of Linux as a whole?
Not useless! I personally love quickly skipping the first chunk of a video with them.
