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.

    The window manager is just to fit a load of xterms on the desktop. (12 on my 1st desktop)

    You can cram "VIM mode" into whatever IDE you like, but you'll never do it as well as terminal vim.

    I’ve crammed so much stuff into my vim packages folder it’s better than any IDE.

    Ctrl+Alt+F1

    A gui is helpful sometimes, but there’s a lot of cases where there’s no feasible way to make a good gui that does what the terminal can do.

    Right tools for the right job.

    For example, a gui to move a file from one folder to another is nice - drag and drop.

    A gui that finds all files in a directory with a max depth of 2 but excludes logs and runs grep and on matching files extracts the second field of every line in the file? Please just let me write a one liner in bash

    A GUI makes simple things simple.

    A shell makes hard things possible.

    fr, once you get used to the terminal you never leave it

    [–] chitak166@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

    I got used to it and only use it when I absolutely have to.

    [–] PINKeHamton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

    CTRL+ALT+T NAH Mod+Enter is the best

    [–] nakal@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

    Wait, I thought the terminal/shell was the modern UI...

    [–] mdurell@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

    Terminal plus Gnu Screen plus vim makes the BEST IDE /for me/.
