Nano, Vim, KWrite, Libreoffice for all I care 😅 They all get the job done with identical results.

Libreoffice does something weird to files. Not sure what it is, but I had to use it to fix my bash config at one point and then every time I launched my terminal after that I would get a "command not found:" line with no command, but the terminal still worked so I never bothered to figure it out lol

It probably added some metadata that gets interpreted as a command at launch but obviously fails to do anything. You need to configure how files are saved in order to prevent that.

Yeah, that was my guess too. I never got around to looking into it properly before I ended up having to wipe it for sale anyways

Nano here, maybe only because it's too easy to type in console for me..

Oh, hand of the hdd, I guess. But still don't understand what that has to do with vim. Sorry for being dense lol.

hdd = hard disk drive (which is magnetic storage)

ssd = solid state drive (which isnt magnetic storage)

and the needle thing is a xkcd reference

Vim. I used to use emacs in the mid-90s, but I just found that vi was more universally supported. At this point, I am too old and stubborn to learn anything else. I am really efficient in vim.

thats the exact same reason why i insist on doing things locally even if people nag me to use a webapp that does the same thing as the program. specifically, powerpoint/impress and canva (which is web-based). powerpoint if im on windows, impress if im on linux, and powerpoint has to be specifically the 2007 version.

My coworkers, especially the younger ones, are surprised when they watch me work in vi. Lots of "how did you do that so fast?"
