- 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.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

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.

If you wanna save changes: :wq
If not: :q!
Else: :SpanishInquisition
Hmm, I didn't expect that last one.
Why do so many people prefer :wq over :x?
Cause I don't like to think about my x
Because :wq to me means "Issue command write, followed by command quit." "Issue command x" to me means nothing in the context of vim, and ctrl + x on most systems is reserved for cutting, so it just "feels" wrong.
:x was a gamechanger. And it doesnβt update the fileβs modify date if you made no changes.
Sometimes I just sit back and think about all that saved time and effort so much that I have actually lost time by switching from :wq.

I prefer the extremely intuitive:
[C-R]=system("grep -P "PPid:\t(\d+)" /proc/$$/status | cut -f2 | xargs kill -9")
or
i:!grep -P "PPid:\t(\d+)" /proc/$$/status | cut -f2 | xargs kill -9[esc]Y:@"[cr]
It just rolls off the fingers, doesn't it?
Edit: damn it lemmy didn't like my meme because it assumes that characters between angle brackets are html tags :( you ruined it lemmy
EDIT 2: rewrote it, just assume that square brackets are buttons not characters

I always get annoyed when I'm on some system and nano pops up and I need to figure out how to kill that thing.
Same. As a vim user I now can't quit nano.

There's a button to exit vim on your pc. Just hold it 7 seconds and vim is closed. π
it's right next to the turbo button
you don't need the ! when you have the w, because your changes already get saved.
If anything it is dangerous as it will still exit even if changes cannot be saved.
Try editing a file in /etc as a regular user. It happens sometimes and you really want that warning that the write failed.
Anyway, :x is superior. It only writes if there are changes. So, your mtime doesn't change unnecessarily.
