I feel so many of us have had a bad initial experience when first dabbling with Linux and subsequently vim, honestly usually not all that bad but we or at least I have shyed away from using it for a seemingly irrational reasoning.... Perhaps its just me? Great video! Very informative and concise :)

Great video. Long time vim user and I am so comfortable with it that when I have to use a different tool, I check if I can use vim keybindings. Off topic, I recently discovered screen (I know, I thought tmux was all there was!) and I would be interested in a multiplexing video if there isn't one already. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I've got it installed, and I have the thing open to the little 'intro' screen, then I've managed to get 'insert' at the bottom. I have this book "Doing Business with C' that I want to work through. I guess I won't break anything trying to put in the program? It won't like, break my computer if I mess up?

ok so I spent about 8 hours (no joke) because curl would throw errors like 'permission denied' and 'unable to write to this file'. The solution is: don't install curl with snap, install is with apt. Because if you install it with snap, it won't be able to write to hidden directory's. Try snap remove curl, then apt install curl. It's possible that youu'll then have to write /usr/bin/curl to use curl but yeah. I had a terrible day today

when I try to save the plugin file, I get the following message ".vimrc/plug" E212: Can't open file for writing". What should I do next?

[harddiskofentertainment]

this is a great video on how to configure and install plugins, but I also wish to know how to uninstall plugins.
