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.
    • ย 

    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.

    No questions on how to exit vim ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿคจ?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

    Because the people are stuck in VIM

    [โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    From another terminal:

    ps ax | grep vim | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -- kill -9

    I haven't used vim since collage (I'm currently a aarp member) isn't it "cntrl-x" ?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    that is nano

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Pretty sure nano didn't exist in 93' oh well

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    But pico did and nano is built to emulate pico.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    @gentooer @Crashumbc isnt pico built to emulate wordstar or something like that?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I'm afraid that's from before my time. I'm born in 1996 and didn't have internet before 2008. I think my first Linux install was Ubuntu 12.04 from a CD-ROM.

    You're way past my knowledge. I'm not a programmer by trade. I just hack shit occasionally :p

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    the only way to exit vim is to unplug your pc

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

    Correct!
