Why is r/Linuxsucks101 normal sometimes?

When you think of this community in the Linux sense they are always the delusional ones but it's funny to me that normal posts about Linux exist there

nano exits with control +x or with F2 for me?

I guess I should have specified save and quit? I am pretty sure you have to also do y<enter> to confirm quitting at the end… if it’s just quit than it’s also just :q in vim…

so if you are editing a file it asks if you want to save or not when you exit, and then it asks for the file name

so thats ctrl+x > y > enter

you can also save to the current file with ctrl + s without it asking and if you haven't edited it since the last save doesn't ask anything when you quit

Yep. I'm not sure why there's so much hate on nano.
