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!

    sorry, i consider myself more of a Unix nerd than a GNU nerd.

    [–] one_knight_scripting 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Oh great... Look at the GNUguy. Here he is walking around all GNUde. He's gonna come over demanding GNUggets of wisdom. And I'm just gonna say it, hell GNUpe, leave me alone to compile my thoughts in peace.

    This comment was purely for fun, isn't even funny, and frankly laughable. But it seemed like a good time for some word play. ✌️

    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
    [–] one_knight_scripting 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    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)

    [–] Dkarma 3 points 1 month ago

    Haha never
