- 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

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

Emacs!
-> Vim
-> nano
-> Microsoft edit 1.0 for Linux
Heh, looks like Microsoft employed someone and just let them do whatever they wanted. So they fucked around and made a text editor in Rust. They even have an anime avatar on github. Definitely doesn't smell like a microsoft project but hey.. if a company feeds you, you gotta put their name on your project.
Wait what oh gods no
Well I think this has been too much Internet for me today
-> micro
It's a great OS it's just lacking a decent text editor.
I used to spend hours trying to get the image on the right page. Now i use Org-mode LaTeX, and just accept that it's impossible.
π¦Ά
GNOME -> Vim
Can emacs really do all of this?
Probably... so long as Emacs can be used to open up Vim. :-P
Lmao y'all are degenerates.
It probably can somehow
Theres an emacs map plugin, and a webkit browser, and org mode is basically notes + calendar, you can edit and copy remote files with tramp mode. Theres also an emacs plugin for launching steam games.
Emacs comes with a plugin called "doctor" which is a rudimentary text ai from the 90s
One time I wanted to edit a binary file and I found out emacs comes with a hex editor
Man y'all really are trying to get me to try emacs.
Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word's definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email ... I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole "emacs is a great operating system" joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I'm worried I'm going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions ("do one thing and do it well"), but it's been a fun experiment so far
Huh.
Well godamnit. I gotta check it out now. I'll be right back, I swear
