now I need to use vim to reconfigure apt sources just so I can use a more normal editor Prepare and paste this into your terminal: echo "another line" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list Sorry for your pain, but choosing hard ways is a person’s business.

I believe the parent was trying to say that the default editor is the hard option, even though easier and intuitive solutions exist.

or just "echo 'another line' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

  Yes, but only when logged in as root.

    of course, but redundant if you are root

      *sudo is redundant
