From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, i am using vi.

[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The actual Vi? Not Vim or Neovim? In 2023?

Vi? Not Vim or Neovim

I have probably had them all and then some more. Honestly, I don't care about these fine distinctions.

[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd say that whether the backspace key works properly is a pretty important distinction.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

pretty important

Not that much... only if you have a habit of making many single key typos ;-)

For editing text, better learn all the other ways, too. They are so much more powerful than the deletion of single characters.

I just learned about neovim. Combined with vim bootstrap. Officially made it my primary and aliased for vi

The one that I can install from my package manager?

Idk I use Vim. Rip Bram.

This one's pretty good, I think: emac from 2002

[–] planish@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I'm still on my first one, because I do not have enough fingers to exit even a single EMAC.

[–] tux0r@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Mostly, mg.

emacs-nox because I'm not installing Emacs for the gui.

(I'm aware this doesn't seem to be about Emacs, but I don't know what emac is so I'm meming)

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

My favourite Emacs is nano

[–] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I dunno, whatever the latest stable build is
