I mean... Young people don't know things yet... Isn't that normal?

I get feeling existential about the passage of time, but... Sad? Laughing? Maybe I'm imagining it wrong, but I dunno. Maybe I'm just the young person in this occasion.

Depends on the context I guess. If this is a professional IT context in which the 25yo is expected to be proficient enough on a Linux system to edit a text file, not knowing that vim exists is kinda sad.

... I don't know if I'd call it sad, as much as kinda baffling. Vim was on every package manager list I've seen, under text editors... Big stylised letters, how does one miss that?

I feel like it's someone who only uses Linux specifically for (and because of) their work, and has probably never tinkered and casually browsed around in it.

Yeah, I can see how that can be sad, like a person who doesn't actually share your culture/hobby after all.
