how do i exit vim

You might see people type :wq or ZZ but have you considered pkill vim or xkill and then click your terminal window?

Press reset on your PC.

When I was young, I didn't know how to exit GTA so I ripped the power cord out of my computer instead.

hold the power button down for 4 seconds.

Didn't do anything, please provide reasons why.

The xkill can actually come in handy sometime, thank you.

I've personally had the best results using Linux Mint MATE over the Cinnamon version. There's less QOL OOTB and slightly less intuitive GUI tools, but Mint MATE feels more "authentic" than Mint Cinnamon. There's something kinda crap and unrelaxed about how Cinnamon to this day is still categorically incomplete considering how regardless of how the Mint team, Fedora developers, or any other distro maintainers package Cinnamon, you still need to rely on GNOME applications on some measure. MATE is wholly complete unto itself by sheer virtue of forking off GNOME 2.32. Cinnamon was never a hard fork from the get-go; it was a wrapper around GNOME Shell that eventually became independent.

Honestly, if it was up to me and the tools would have held up- I adored KDE 2, and I stuck with them through 3.5, but that's when it all went to shit. I use Cinnamon because I'm old and it's comfortable. Otherwise, I'd probably still be doing wm2 and wishing I had a cut-and-paste service that actually worked between different toolkits.

Fuck you Null, add Rumble and Odysee to the media tag because I'm not linking to Jewtube if I don't have to.

Lunduke: XLibre, the "Vanity, Protest Fork" of Xorg, Has Yet Another Major New Release

I don't know what practical future XLibre actually has, but the fact that Red Hat and GNOME are losing their shit over its existence is enough to make me smile.

With how much Xlibre development is outpacing Xorg development (is Xorg still unfucking their repository after ripping out metux's code?) it's clearly becoming a better option over Xorg. Some linux distros have already switched over and there are a few more considering it.

It has a decent number of active contributors and it hasn't lost steam, I think they're in the phase of building a track record of being reliable and stable, the crowning achievement would be getting Linux Mint to consider it.
