Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    If you have typed an <ESC> by mistake, you can get rid of it with a C-g.

    I use both(or many, actually).

    • emacs for working on languages that I'm learning, and coding challenges websites(e.g.: codewars)
    • vim for one-off config edits, browser navigation
    • neovim(lazyvim) for rust and lua, and at home
    • vscodium(with neovim key bindings) for typescript, and at work
    • android studio(with vim keybindings) for kotlin/compose
    • xcode for swift/ui
    • nano when I feel funny

    How funny do you have to feel to use nano? Are we talking barely walking or a wee bit tipsy?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    haha, I used nano a lot before I learnt vim. but now, I find it confusing when pressing jk appears on the screen instead of my cursor going down/up.

    it's not a nano problem, just my muscle memory(for the same reason I swapped mac's keys)
