My current issue is i see you guys constantly having issues, editing files etc.

Is it not stable?

Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?

    There was a time when I had to do that. I was a teenager. I had no idea what I was doing. And it was many many years later that I finally learned how to quit it. That pain keeps me away to this day.

    Long live nano, the warm and cuddly text editor.

      … It didn’t occur to you to google “how to exit vim”?

      It’s :q! and if you were in some special mode you can spam esc a bunch of times before.

      I’m imagining that same instance still stuck open for years until you found out.

        To quit vim is simple!

        Just get a second computer, network with the first one, SSH into the first one, find the process ID of vim, and pkill! Easy as pie!
