I've always preferred vi commands, they make sense and are mostly abbreviations or regex, all the other editors have the strangest commands...

To write and quit in vi :wq

To write and quit in nano: ctrl-o, confirmation dialog about tmp files, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog about exiting... weird feeling that I didn't actually save the file... reopen, okay it saved, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog, weird feeling that I accidently edited the file...

I used nano for years until I forced myself to learn the basics of vi(m), now whenever something opens nano by default it annoys me and I immediately change the editor to vim 😂

Yeah, like Word, you open it, don't change anything, close, "Do you want to save changes?"... WTF 🤨.

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!
