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!

    If you don't like Vim, you should stop being a milk-drinking sweetroll-eating WUSS

    I like evil/spacemacs because I can get my vim fix virtually, because emacs from a software engineering perspective is beautiful!

    I can't try again because I can't exit out ...

    It's a common problem but the correct solution to closing vim is quite easy, press and hold control alt and F5 to drop to a new terminal. From there you can do "killall vim" to properly close vim, then just drop back to your main session

    I wish I'd read this years ago! I've nearly bankrupted myself buying a new machine each time, thanks!

    Just type :!bash (or whatever heathenous shell you prefer) and you never have to leave the warm embrace of vim ever again
