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!


    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.

    Have you tried GUI text editors? They're like the CLI ones, just from this millennium. We're no longer etching runes into rocks any more either.

    Sometimes it's not so easy to fire up a GUI, like when you ssh into another machine.

    CLI text editors have their specific use cases. For all other cases GUI ones (Kate, VSCode,...) exist.

    CLI text editors have their specific use cases.

    Couldn't agree more. My use cases tend to be:

    • text editor
    • note taking
    • IDE
    • config editor
    • log viewer
    • adhoc data prep
    • json viewer

    EMACS users sometimes add web browser and email client, among other things but, that's a bit further than I go. The perf for either of the main two blows nearly any GUI editor out of the water and being able to pipe stdout/stderr to them is just the wonderful cherry on top.

    Hopefully tongue-in-cheek.
    Because sure. Microsoft Word is the best IDE.

    I personally prefer running wordpad with WINE, as I can’t afford an office subscription.

    No.

    Learn the difference between a word processor and a text editor.

    Guess you're not up on your memes. Frightfully sorry for responding to what I assumed was a meme answer with a meme answer.

    I refuse to use any GUI until people stop pronouncing it as gooey.

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

    Well now I'm going to pronounce it gooey even harder!

    That's "graphical oowey", right? /s

    I generally just say the letters; the amount of shit I get for saying gee en you...is not actually that much because I usually don't interact with coding nerds via voice, only text, but if I did they would be livid

    Edit: For some reason I try to pronounce Xfce as a word instead of an initialism though, 'ecks-fiss'. Maybe I'm just broken.

    X forwarding is too much work
