:x for write and quit. But I think the more appropriate one in this situation will be :q! which will force quit without saving any modifications, since someone who doesn't know how to exit vim probably doesn't want to save whatever modifications they made (probably by mistake).

Thanks for adding this. I'm sure it'll be useful to know and save me some heartache.

I tried out Linux a long time ago and have forgotten a lot of what I knew. I'm thinking of switching back again.
