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!

    Why quit out of the superior text editor?

    If you were talking about emacs, sure. But this is vi(m), it's not even a web browser, let alone a full operating system.

    Oh, is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?

    [–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    I didn't make such statement, don't strawman me into this fight. But OP asked why you would need to exit out of it. Well maybe because one needs to do other things than edit text. Which wouldn't be the case if one were to use emacs.

    Now you've gone and made this personal, buddy.

    [–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I'm not your buddy, friend.

    [–] Trail@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

    I'm not your friend, pal.

    [–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

    Why would you do anything other than edit text? That's what a pc is for!

    [–] notabot@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    A question that's been on my mind for a while: can you run vim in emacs? That way you'd have the best editor in the most comprehensive OS.

    [–] 0x30507DE@lemmy.today 5 points 6 months ago

    In theory you can fire up vi(m) in an emacs terminal, so... I guess?

    [–] huginn@feddit.it 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Why would I want an OS to edit text? It's already on *nix - I want the best text editor smh

    [–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    Ahh. ed

    Just kidding. It’s vi.

    [–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    After decades using Vim, I wouldn't choose to exit it... But it would have been nice to have had a choice...

    the superior text editor

    I never stopped, I'm still using Nano.
