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!

    How to use vim in 2 simple steps:

    1- Pretend to use vim

    2- Use nano like a normal person

    Am I a bad person for using Visual Studio Code?

    [–] cool 13 points 1 year ago

    You are just normal and sane

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    I upvoted because yes, you are bad and you should feel bad.

    You obviously didn't get the memo that you are supposed to only work in a text shell.

    Or Micro, if you're a filthy casual like me

    Jesus, how much more basic can you really get than nano?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Ed or just sed

    Who cares about labels, Micro is the bomb

    I tried nano, but none of the standard key combination would let me save or quit.

    [–] demonsword 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    you can always edit /etc/nanorc if you don't like the stock keyboard shortcuts

    [–] beigegull 5 points 1 year ago

    Like, with vim?

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

    That's why it's so nice that nano helpfully displays the keyboard shortcuts on the screen.

    No indeed they wouldn't, but it's still not as bad as vim.

    I know how to use Vim, but then I switched to Colemak, and now I don't know how to use Vim.
