This command will literally overwrite the file that you do whenever you try to edit it. You need two >> to append at the end of a file, but it’s super-duper hard to put text in the middle of a file from the terminal. That is why people use editors, for sure. Now that I think about it, there probably is some psychopath who uses the actual command line as an editor. They’re probably more elitist than Vim users lol.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's your favourite "just works, day after day" Linux software?
5·2 months agoVim because its everywhere and is super powerful. It can even be used for some light scripting. GCC to make my own programs. Python as well, same thing and also portable. All the programs that come with mint and become part of the background like the terminal emulator. All of it, pretty awesome. Jellyfin has been a mainstay as well.
Linux runs Resident Evil 9. It just doesn’t run these because they aren’t real games.

Man, I have wanted to learn Emacs for a while, but those shortcut keys kill my hands and soul in general. I know about Evil mode, but for whatever reason I just gotta use default controls when I play a new game. The graphics are terrible, but they say that the gameplay for emacs is pretty great. I guess you could say that Emacs is the Dark Souls of text editors.
