From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In this case :wq does not sound right.

I would go with :q! (or :qa!)

Because death always fucks up all your plans.

I like to think of it as, his history and legacy being written to for the final time, the file being closed.

ZZ. You will be missed Bram, but your legacy will live on.
