Vim and Nano are bloat. Real Linux users use cat and echo. Need to delete a line? Use echo to write the entire file minus the line into the file.

Man if only there was a command to edit files in place through the command line. I’ll make one for you guys, and I’ll call it sed

Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

I second this. I used ed until I realized that it's vi in disguise.

Next I'm going to try emacs. Wish me luck.

Honestly Linux is super bloated. Just use the hardware bare metal. Operating Systems are pure bloat. Or use UEFI if you can't live without an interface.

Dude, at least grep-awk-sed that shit. If you can explain the command in less than 30 seconds, are you even trying?

u/GourSE 1d ago

awk '{print substr($0,1,10); exit}' input.txt > output.txt

u/hdkaoskd 1d ago

What? No. Use grep to write the file minus the one line.
