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

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.

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

I'm getting used to it; I customised it to my liking and it even has a terminal built in. what do you recommend instead?
also, what do you recommend that works like VSCode for writing shit into that I never save and leave open forever, and has a search functionality on all open files that can work on any programming language I want (through compiler/interpreter and colour scheme plugins)?
Vscodium.
Or one of the many variants of ol' Sublimetext and Atom (Sublime is paid for, Atom has been abandoned, but there are successors)
I'll check out some atom successors, thanks! Any specific ones you like?
You can use vscode on linux
I know I can, but I want to learn about alternatives and grow.
I'm trying to learn vim so I have neovim with neovim. With this you can do a lot more stuff. Have a lot more functionality, and it's super easy to set up
If your needs are not that complex, you could maybe stick with kde and use kate.
Uhh does Codium not work for you? It's not Vim but it's something
I haven't tried, but I want to learn about alternatives and grow. I don't want vscode with the scummy bits removed, I want to see something that's better and try something new that's similar to something that has solved the problems I stated.
