Okay, so just now I literally had to force-reboot a laptop because I could not exit vim.

damn.. It really IS a trap.

:q!

Plus come on noob how hard is it to kill a process even if it hangs?

In tmux => ctrl+b + x (or kill-pane)

In i3, just close the window

Open a terminal, do ps -Al, then kill)

Open a tty, find the proc, kill it

@tosensei nano is very simple.

@tosensei I get it now. You're constantly mad because things are too complicated for you to use.

It's not our fault you're stupid you know :D

@antigermgerm okay mr. non-noob, any particular instructions on how to do that in initramfs shell when chrooted and in a vi session and your vt100 control codes fuck up and mess up the whole tty?

@tosensei right, I'm the only person you have problem with lmao

@netikras just don't do that?

@netikras anyway in other news im currently in a cat cafe where the food is being served by a robot with cats standing on it.

How cool is that

@netikras I take it such a malfunction prevents the needed characters from being sent to the terminal.

@cuddlyogre indeed.

@antigermgerm well, I couldn't test the luks-LVM mounting and discovery mechanism before system boot otherwise. And rebooting into a LiveUSB every time is quite tedious, because I have to luks-open, kpartx, mount my host's system into /mnt with all the virtual filesystems from a LiveUSB runtime, chroot, make changes there, update-initramfs and reboot. A bit more tedious than just vi-editing one of the initramfs scipts, ain't it? :)

@netikras totally. I got schooled. What's your main problem though. Some disc not mounting?

Sounds like you need more training...

You need a tutor...

You _need_ `Rvimtutor`.

Finally made it work. Here's how, should anyone ever be in the same situation: https://dev.to/netikras/...

@tosensei the UNIX philosophy isn't to hate everything you're too dumb to use.

@tosensei everything is useless until you learn how to use it.

@tosensei i never had to learn how to exit it. If i opened it before I knew how to use it I would just kill the proc, how hard is that.

Also all your orifices are vaginas.

@tosensei horses?

@tosensei my mum isn't allergic to horses idiot, I am.

@tosensei and I can't suck up horses. They're too big

@tosensei you cannot undo that

I would say that's more reason than ever to use a real editor like Joe.

Because I hate vim

But

Sudo killall vim?

@tosensei why do you people not use Joe?????

@retoor fuck you you like snakes. I like horsies

@tosensei pffft

@tosensei please make sense
