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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I only use Vim, but I appreciate nano as a choice and don't even really mind visudo opening nano

    Vim user here: Nano is a good text editor, takes a lot less training to pick up and use, and it's surprisingly capable. If I'm teaching someone how to use the Linux terminal, I'm going to teach them Nano, because they already have enough to learn. Vim is a separate class all its own.

    I appreciate nano as a choice. Sure. But if visudo opens in nano and suddenly I have a bunch of "yoi:wq" in my sudoers I'll be upset.

    When visudo opens nano, I get unreasonably angry about it. I typed "visudo", not "nanosudo"

    I prefer micro over nano. It's like a middle term
