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!

    Terminal-based scriptable text editor, continuation of one of the first interactive programs in the world (vi), so it has a lot of legacy User Experience, which seems unintuitive for modern users. For instance, it does not automatically write when you launch a program. Instead, you are set in so-called "Normal mode", which maps all the keyboard keys to text-editing macros and acts as a bridge between "Insert mode" (for typing text) and "Command mode" (for application control and . If you're on "Insert mode" and want to save your edits and quit, you need to press ESC, to switch back to the Normal mode, and type in :wq and press Enter.
