Not being allowed to remove an app has lead about two people to switch from windows in the last 10000years.

When will the EU force Vim to let users out?

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

Hit Esc then type "q!" <- how hard was that? Don't listen to the vimxit liars

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the ':' before the q!, when you type ':' you enter command mode, the q command quits the file and putting an exclamation mark after the q doesn't save the file and forces the file to be closed

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Ok, I may have forgotten about the ":" but I stand by the rest, if you can't remember how to do a qw, then you can't be trusted to write to a file.

[-] Thaurin@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

So you can’t be trusted to write a file.

[-] Thaurin@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Thanks for being honest. I’ll ask someone else when I need to write a file.

In the end linux is about choice, if you don't want to remember the commands to edit with vim, there are text editors like nano or some kind of notepad program from your DE

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Or if you want to text edit in hardcore mode, only use :x to exit. For after you've gotten used to vim and want to bring back some of the challenge.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Open a new terminal and type sudo killall vim

Reject modernity, return to having a single 120v power switch on the front of the computer!

[-] msage@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

There was a post about custom PC starting switches, and one built a gong starter. Now that would be a boss reboot.

I'm very close to just editing that comment

'ZZ' you heathen

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I know it's a meme but it's crazy to me that some people think the average person cares about computers at all (let alone what OS is running)

Same. Literally the reason I started using Zorin OS was because it was pretty. Not any sort of logical reason, just "Windows is Ugly, Zorin is Pretty"

[-] Honza@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 1 year ago

Perhaps you are right, but now those two individuals can finally switch back to using Windows.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

As one of them, no thank you. Windows is doing plenty of other crap and I don’t like and it turns out linux is kinda fun. Also once I finally understand what I’m doing I can set up a home server and other cool stuff.

Also I’m not european so I can’t actually switch back

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

having your own NAS rocks! i run jellyfin and adguard under truenas.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I’m just a shit programmer. I just have a few old workstations, a desire to eventually set up a jellyfin setup, and little enough knowledge that the beginner guides are often above my level

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

honestly, i barely know how to write shit for an arduino. i have no prior experience with software. linux stuff is learning by doing. try something and see if that works. the text tutorials in the documentations are often the best way to install stuff. you'll eventually figure it out.
