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 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
  • 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, 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    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?

    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.

    I'm not your friend, pal.

    [–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

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

    [–] notabot@lemm.ee 7 points 11 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 5 points 11 months ago

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

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

    Ahh. ed

    Just kidding. It’s vi.
