How dare you

lurch, in Text editor war

I recently worked on a system that had the TERM variable botched and filtered and no nano, just vim. It was all hell. The escape sequences in vim wouldn’t work. I ended up suspendig it with ctrl+z, killing it, then editing the config with fucking ed and sed. That hoster sucks.

db2,

Name and shame.

squaresinger,

Vim can do much more than nano, but for it to work, quite a few specific stars need to align, and if they don’t you are screwed.

Nano on the other had just works. If it exists in your env.

Both are good but I prefer Vim.

geekworking, in Text editor war

+1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

skyin7,

Amen!

Damage,

When the holy war comes, you’ll be among the first sacrifices!

Ehh, that’s fine. I’m not too psyched about living in whatever comes afterward.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Wouldn’t the first be Vimulation users? They are the Pretenders.

bingbong,

Blasphemers!

I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

But Nano is a GNU utility what use Ctrl-O for Save.

laurelraven,

No wonder I can never remember how to do anything in nano, at least vi’s commands generally make sense

Kusimulkku,

I recently switched to micro that is similar but with more sane key combos.

Now I just mistakenly use nano combos. Back to nano it is lol

glasgitarrewelt,

Nano is only helpfull because of this nifty little info bar at the bottom… No one can actually remember nano-shortcuts.

GBU_28,

Up down left and right?

I guess ctrlx enter y ? But it has a prompt

cyanarchy,

Consider micro. The shortcuts for editing test are what I expect them to be everywhere else I edit text.

cows_are_underrated,

Nano Shortcuts are shit. Like CTRL+X to save. What the fuck??? Why not use CTRL+S for this?

lemmyingly, (edited )

Ctrl + X is eXit. Ctrl + S is Save without a prompt.

state_electrician,

I had to learn vi because it was installed everywhere and nano didn’t exist yet. I always thought the holy war to be very silly, and even though many treat it as such, there are too many who take it seriously.

If I have to edit in a terminal: micro

If I need to edit something larger, and want a GUI: Kate

Anything else I flirt with and then drop promptly once I can’t find the time to really learn it.

I’m a fkn vi user and I will say that it is not entirely wrong. ^:wq

Telodzrum, in Linux mint = best beginner distro

TBH, ElementaryOS is going to look most familiar to a lot of users.

Peter1986C,
@Peter1986C@lemmings.world avatar

Does that not look far more like MacOS than Windows? Most people would come from Windows one would think (at least outside the US at least).

Telodzrum,

It looks like MacOS and Windows 11. So that’s everyone.

NateNate60, in Debian being insanely stable

Well, Debian Sid is rolling-release if that’s your liking

QuazarOmega, in They’re in no position to complain

Honestly I’d love for more Linux-only apps to be available on Windows, so, when I’m forced to use it, I can still get the same awesome libre apps I’m enjoying on Linux.
Despite that, I still haven’t had the balls to open a single issue anywhere to support Windows 👀

RmDebArc_5,
@RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml avatar

Just use WSL

QuazarOmega,

True, but it doesn’t work for some apps in my experience

Kidplayer_666,

There’s probably some random config file on a forum post 18 years old where half the images don’t load cause the hosting service they used for image went down

fl42v,

Idk, mb some system-ish stuff? Otherwise it should work ~fine since wsl[2] is just a VM and not like a piece of art like wine

QuazarOmega,

I’ll try again some time to check, but last time I had trouble with some apps installed on openSUSE WSL, like some theming issues and some apps not opening (probably relying on system components as you say)

Discover5164,

it requires admin permissions… and on the only place where i’m forced to use windows i don’t have those

snowadv,

Rdp server is the way then. xrdp for example

PainInTheAES,

Probably shouldn’t have access to that either if your IT department is doing a good job.

NateNate60,

Real winners download the source code and compile it from scratch to flex on proprietary software users

dansity,

I install windows from command line only

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

Reject modernity; Return to MS-DOS

OrderedChaos,

Are there any simple instructions. I swear everything is seen just goes over my head.

squaresinger,

WSL is really easy to setup by now. In the beginning it was really terrible.

Now all you need to do (if you are fine with Ubuntu) is open CMD with admin rights and input wsl --install.

If you want another distro, it’s wsl -l -o to check the available distros and wsl --install -d to install it.

More documentation here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

OrderedChaos,

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

Give me ls on the cmd for fuck sake.

EyesInTheBoat,
@EyesInTheBoat@lemmy.world avatar

Works well on windows 10+ in powershell

AVincentInSpace, (edited )

as long as you don’t try to pass it any flags, that is. M$ defined ls etc. as straight aliases to the equivalent PowerShell commands that have their own flag system, so if you ls -l it will puke

@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar
EatYouWell,

Huh? Libre is available on Windows.

eager_eagle,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

libre as in free (speech)

QuazarOmega,

Libre what? If you were thinking LibreOffice, I wasn’t referring to that

_cnt0, in Text editor war

Heathen!

TimeSquirrel, (edited ) in Text editor war
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

I ONLY EDIT TEXT BY TOGGLING OUT ASCII CODES ON A ROW OF SWITCHES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO MY PARALLEL PORT\n

ziggurat,

I know your lying, because if you did, you would write a mix of capital and lower case letter, because one of the switches would control that bit

TimeSquirrel, (edited )
@TimeSquirrel@kbin.social avatar

I COULD ONLY AFFORD SIX SWITCHES. BIT 5 HAS A PULLDOWN RESISTOR ON IT\n

bobo,

This guy did it back in the 80s:

Desistance, in Useless messenger

Stop using Facebook products

RealPuyo,

I’m tired of seeing it

dansity, in Text editor war

Just use notepad++ with wine like any normal person do

xylogx,

Notepadqq is a thing, you know.

Am I invited here? I use arch based distro btw.

DolphinMath,

You really should have read the wiki before asking that question. /s

PullUpCircuit,

Ironically, I do not.

DacoTaco, (edited )
@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

Manjaro on my server here, because it was one of the few that bad the linux kernel i needed to support my sbc.
Have i mentioned i use arch btw?

bruhduh, (edited ) in Debian being insanely stable
@bruhduh@lemmy.world avatar

Are you me?) P.s been daily driving arch for 5 years and now switching back to Debian
