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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    We don't want a viditor, we want an editor. Why? Because ed is the standard!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

    On the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 17 minutes ago

    Nano is just better and I'll happily die on this hill

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

    No

    Nano is easier to get into, but far more limited.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    And easier to get out of…

    Is it? If it wasn't printed on the bottom, would you really be able to guess Ctrl+X, Y, Enter any easier than colon, q, Enter?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    The key difference here is "it's printed at the bottom".

    I don't immediately need a user guide to tell me how to save and exit the program
