Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

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 remove France.

Writing a good text editor is something to be proud of, so that’s awesome!

Well, proud of my accomplishment as I am, ...

I never said it's good.

It's merely usable.

And even that may yet prove debatable. ;)

I don’t use any version of Commander on this machine, and I don’t plan to. I used the original from Norton back in the day, but when Windows 3 hit, I used Norton Desktop to improve it (basically into what Win95 became), and never looked at a Commander interface again - if I want two side-by-side directories, I have a windowing system.

First time I recall anyone responding to my suggestion of mcedit in a way that looks like they know what I'm talking about. :)

gedit seems to be doing the job. I’ve never heard of kate before this thread, I’ll have to look it up.

Kate is to KDE, like gedit is to GNOME. It's been a while since I used gedit, but Kate recently [(well, a couple years ago]) inspired me to add one of it's nice features (the minimap) to my emacs.

Never looked at nano, but I heard of it.

M$ Edit

Just remembered, there's now also M$'s edit (iirc that's the name "edit") available for windows, that's basically notepad for the terminal user interface.

My "fin"'s similar (and simpler ~ because I've yet to get back to padding out its [even basic] features), in that it also uses cua keybind model (ctrl+s = save, etc).
