$ vi Part_1.txt

Hey Steemians, any linux engineers on here? How did your first hands-on with Linux felt like?

After working with Microsoft products for a long time, I was interested in something different. My career needed a new fresh breeze to get me excited again, so I took the chance to work as a linux application administrator.

Never really worked with a terminal before, but I picked up the basics pretty fast. Feeling like Mr. Robot how I manoeuvre through the folders in the server that I’m logged on.

A colleague asked me to change some configuration in a property file. He told me it was as simple as “vi filename”.

So I went to the location I needed to be, typed in vi ‘filename’ and there I was. The vi screen popped up and I had no idea what to do. How could I edit the text.. How could I search for text.. How could I quit this? I was stuck for a long time..
