Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!
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.

MODERATORS
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?
Hit Esc then type "q!" <- how hard was that? Don't listen to the vimxit liars
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
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.
So you can’t be trusted to write a file.
No, I'm not trust worthy
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
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.
Open a new terminal and type
sudo killall vim
reboot to assert dominance
Reject modernity, return to having a single 120v power switch on the front of the computer!
There was a post about custom PC starting switches, and one built a gong starter. Now that would be a boss reboot.
You must still be trapped
I'm very close to just editing that comment
'ZZ' you heathen
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"
Perhaps you are right, but now those two individuals can finally switch back to using Windows.
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
having your own NAS rocks! i run jellyfin and adguard under truenas.
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
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.
Well I guess I'm one of the 2 then
Me too
Me three..?
