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!

    a meme with two halves.
    on top is a screenshot of the terminal with the following text:

    Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )

    Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D

    I started learning Emacs at the same time I was learning to code. Once I found Doom it was pretty straightforward. Before that...it wasn't fun.

    I'm currently trying out lazyvim, and I think the Emacs approach is a lot more accessible to beginners because:

    • it does everything on its own instead of relying on you knowing cli tools

    • :help is just sad when compared to C-h, and generally the in-editor docs and guides are a lot worse

    • Doom is a lot more opinionated than lazyvim, but it also requires a lot less manual setup

    it's doom emacs(with vim bindings). I am currently using vim but wanted to learn emacs too as org mode seems interesting

    Check magit as well, in case you use git. It was a game changer for me.

    VI is the number of the beast! Install Emacs now and save your soul!
