The laughing comes when you are so used to vim that you begin using :q in other programs and wonder why doesn’t it exit.
I see at least two problems here:
-
Don’t pull on the cable, pull on the plug.
-
Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.
Ah yes, I’ll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.
It’s so obvious, why didn’t I think of it before.
Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.

Don’t pull plugs out of the wall by the cord. Grab the base of the plug firmly and pull perpendicular to the wall
Doesn’t work on laptops.
then disassemble the laptop and remove the battery connection
Maybe that’s why Linux users enjoy old ThinkPads so much, you can just pull out the battery without opening the laptop.
Exiting Vim is for beginners.
Veterans stay in Vim till the end of time. Probably for the same reasons why the meme in post was made.
Why would you exit vim tho? Are you being forced under duress or something?
Glad ubuntu defaults to nano. One of the few decent choices that distro ever made
I see they reused the instructions for ed, great to see how intuitive Linux is between different programs
Well ed is the standard text editor after all
My point exactly, I am just happy Vim follows the standard (:
Start a second shell and kill the process 😋
Rookie. I have a shell script on my phone that SSHs into my computer and reboots.
You (might be) joking but I did this for my home server and I absolutely love how powerful I feel controlling my entire network from a terminal app on my phone.
My old man energy is showing because I’m so used to looking for a laptop/PC to do this.
Termux gang?
Termux gang!
I really don’t get the exit vim meme anymore. It’s just two key presses, trivial. When you hit
<C-c>it tells you exactly what to do. Anyone stuck in vom either does not read or has no idea how to use a terminal.Edit: I’m German, I meant vim.
^^ The kind of person who doesn’t remember what it’s like being new at the CLI.
or…
Linux is so easy, n00b. You’re just stupid.
