EMACS is a great operating system, it only lacks a good editor.

Vim lacks anything good, except maybe the keybindings.

PopShark,

They hated him because he spoke the truth

milicent_bystandr,

eVil mode. It’s next on my TODO list to try, so I can go back to Emacs’ fantastic Haskell mode without knackering my left pinkie.

just learn a little elisp and remap to control to a sewing machine pedal :P

milicent_bystandr,

Maybe with facial-recognition-mode I can get it to map a grunty squint to ctrl.

@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

I think someone did that with the old Microsoft ir gaming bar thing E: kinect

cows_are_underrated,

Why not eVim?

milicent_bystandr,

Just that I already know Emacs’ Haskell mode is great. If I get back into Haskelling I suppose I should look around options.

I love this

ComradeWeebelo, (edited ) in Stability

Debian testing is other distros stable release.

  • A quote from my good friend that runs Guix, stumpwm, and emacs.
milicent_bystandr,

Ooh, stumpwm. I never did get fully satisfied with that, compared to ratpoison, though I wanted to. Part of the reason I’m now considering NixOS not Guix next install.

i ain’t a horse to want a stable distro

and I don’t want an operating system that makes me feel its presence.

scottywh, in Linux mint = best beginner distro

Mint with Maté gets no love but it’s so fucking great.

TwoBeeSan,

Have not tried a mate based de yet. Gonna try this out after kde fedora.

Been struggling to find a distro with good multi monitor multi aspect ratio setup without it fucking up when one is turned off.

What sets mate apart in your opinion?

scottywh,

I guess I just think that it’s one of the easiest desktop environments for a transitioning Windows user to get used to despite the fact that I’ve personally used Linux for over 25 years starting with old school Red Hat 5 command line.

It doesn’t default to dark themes like many DEs do lately…

There’s other things … Desktop shortcut naming… idk

dirtySourdough, in Linux mint = best beginner distro

Mint is great. I love it when shit just works.

Echrichor,

Ziglin,

Unfortunately many of my friends that don’t use Signal.

Basically everyone in Germany.

Most people in Europe

NoLifeGaming, in Text editor war

Micro is great

pete_the_cat,

I perfect pico

PsychedSy,

Fuck pine use pico.

dipshit, in Text editor war

Oh, vim. I wish I knew how to quit you.

Wilzax,

: q !

bort,

unless you accidentally pressed “q” to early and entered recording-mode…

pete_the_cat,

Only if you don’t want to save the file

:x saved the file and exits.

LainOfTheWired,
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

Or :wq

callyral,
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

or Shift + ZZ

Wilzax,

He said quit, not save and exit

I’m the only one who use joe?

Heavybell,
@Heavybell@lemmy.world avatar

No, but it might just be us…

Siegfried,

I thought this was a Joe mama joke

waldyrious,

Wow, it’s the first time I come across anyone who says they use joe. How does it differ from nano and micro?

Btw, I used to use dit several years ago, but swapped it for micro due to some keyboard shortcut issues (which are probably fixed now).

Ildar,
@Ildar@lemmy.world avatar

it’s actually hard to say that I use it, once in five years I need to edit file in terminal - and joe just traditional for me 🤷‍♂️

lseif, in Linux mint = best beginner distro

linux mint is based

Rolive, in Linux mint = best beginner distro

So Mint is Ubuntu based right? If Ubuntu screws up even more doesn’t that affect Mint as well?

RmDebArc_5,
@RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml avatar

Mint removes everything that makes Ubuntu bad and they have a version with the same features but Debian based and because Ubuntu is pushing snaps so much they have been thinking of making LMDE (Linux Mint Debian edition) the new default

Rolive,

That would convince me to move, probably. Arch isn’t bad but it’s too much hassle to set it up and even then I might have left security gaps open.

ExplodeyWolf,

Endeavour is fun 😉

John,

Since there is ‘archinstall’ setting up arch is really straight forward. Just Boot from stick, type archinstall and fill up all points, done.

Rolive,

Yeah true. I went through the arch process to learn about Linux though so it was worth it in the end but I still have no clue about selinux, apparmor etc that are shipped by default in other distros. Also the need for firewalls/antivirus which isn’t really an issue in Linux but still.

Maragato, in Linux mint = best beginner distro

Ubuntu, Mint, openSUSE.

Sanyanov, in Text editor war

Use DE and edit files with graphical editors like a normal human being.

Problem solved.

Sanyanov,

(But also, nano for the win)

josefo,

cries in ssh

Sanyanov,

devilishly smiles in rdp

josefo,

you monster

RegalPotoo, in i hate that it's very often like this
@RegalPotoo@lemmy.world avatar

With my finger on the trigger / I run dot slash configure / yo this package is big / but my package is bigger

paholg, in Opening a full editor is overrated

I just learned that the Mac version of sed requires a backup file for the -i flag, making it really hard to write cross-platform scripts that use it.
