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!

    Try it to find out!

    • Install Termux from F-Droid
    • Open Termux, and run pkg install gvim. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try running vim
    • Launch vim
    • You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave....

    pkg install gvim

    Why install the gui version?

    pkg install vim

    Only gvim is available in pkg, not vim. I had the same surprise when I didn't see vim.

    This is from termux on my Android phone, not from my desktop/laptop.
