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!

    I love vim (discuss.tchncs.de)

    I am a vscodium user who has begun to get increasingly frustrated over lack of commands to do some simple things.
    So, as a longtime GNU/Linux user, who only knew basic commands to survive in vim, I decided to change my habits.
    installed flavours of neovim(lunarvim, nvchad, and astronvim, in that order) and started tinerking. then switched to kick start.nvim.
    on Android, I'm using plain neovim since there seems to be some missing lib for mason, the neovim package manager.
    passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

    I'm still very much a novice, and continue using codium in office, but I am committed to using neovim as I believe it's truly a great editor(second to Emacs, of course).

    Wait til he learns about doom emacs which is emacs + vim keybinds (and a lot of other QOL features)

    Emacs is a great OS with a bad editor
    Vim is a great editor with a bad OS

    Vim is a great editor without an OS*

    Jesus Christ. you're telling me this now?
    I had heard about doom emacs, but never bothered to really look into it.
    there goes my weekend.

    Doom is EVIL! https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

    Well, Doom has Evil, evil collection, etc enabled by default. But that's less quippy.

    DistroTube is a great source for Doom-related knowledge (as long as you ignore his "old man yells at cloud" videos).

    Lol, haven't heard that name in a long time.

    I watched him for a while and even kinda liked some of his "old man yells art cloud" videos, but he lost me around the time of his "explaining Linux to newbies" video.

    thanks to your comment, I looked up a couple of his videos. Emacs(especially org mode) sounds very interesting. I'll be investing more time in it.
