    I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

    How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

    • Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
    • There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
    • If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
    • There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
    • There’s no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

    ⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don’t use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.
