From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I never got used to doing wq over a simple
:xI get that you can write and quit separately, and I do it when needed, but 95% of the time, there's no need
My muscle memory causes :wq to be typed without my conscient intervention
what's really dangerous is if you do a bunch of force quits in a row with
:q!and then you start to get muscle memory for that and accidentally lose a whole document you were working onYou mean you don't have muscle memory to obsessively save every time you stop typing?
If I lose it, I don't need it
wellllllll
I don't think I've ever had to redo more than 15 mins of work due to this mistake, but it's a dangerous road lol
Software predeterminitism - If it were good code it would have saved itself.
