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!

    It should be VIM

    No one comes back from VIM.

    Those who say they have are dirty liars... or have it paused in the background.

    ...or eventually convert to the cult of Emacs.

    When I use Emacs, it's with Evil.

    i always end up just going back to vscodium.
    liked Helix quite a lot more but still switched back after a while

    Neovim plugin+vscodium/vscode are great

    ... because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components

    official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they're not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships a config file with openvsix though)

    vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it's own branding.

    @vox really!! I thought that vscode open source

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    yes, but vscode's source code is still released under an open-source license. (that's what vscodium and code-oss are built from)

    [โ€“] milady 1 points 1 year ago

    There's the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

    A bit like chrome, because i'm pretty sure chrome isn't open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.

    Pfff. Try joe editor, then. It's a Wordstar clone. For those of us that loved Wordstar, it's as much as a home to us as vi/vim is.

    No one comes back from VIM.

    5x ESC (for good measure), then type :q!

    I successfully moved to NeoVim

    Layers upon layers of vimception!

    Good god do I love VIM. For work I wish my regular windows notepad was vim...
