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.

    image description:
    "epic handshake" meme format with left arm superimposed with the text "Brazilians", whilst right one with "novice vim users"
    on top of handshake, text reads "kkkkk".

    for those who don't get it: Brazilians(maybe other Portuguese speakers too?) use "kkkkkk" or "rsrsrs" in texting to indicate laugh, similar to "haha".

    pressing "k" in vim(in normal mode) makes the cursor go one line up. for efficient navigation, a number before a navigation key(h,j,k,l) can be used. e.g.: 10k to go 10 lines up.

    also, "relative line numbers" might be a setting you may wish to turn on in case you need to jump several lines up.
    you can also use Ctrl+d, Ctrl+u(or their full page counterparts Ctrl+f, Ctrl+b for quick navigation, but that's a tip for some other day. :)

    then those Ctrl shortcuts I mentioned are for you, friend.
    they'll help you move very quickly one you get used to them.
