I generally recommend to exit either via :xa (save all & exit) or :qa! (discard all and exit), bound to ZZ or ZA respectively. If you exit via :q or :wq, it just closes the current buffer, and moves to the next one. E.g. if you have a neotree open along with the editor, you type :wq, it closes the editor buffer and moves you into the file tree, which can be very confusing for beginners.

                                                        :P :Print                                                                                      
  :[range]P[rint] [count] [flags]                                                                                                                        
                          Just as ":print".  Was apparently added to Vi for                                                                              
                          people that keep the shift key pressed too long...                                                                             
                          This command is not supported in Vim9 script.                                                                                  
                          Note: A user command can overrule this command.                                                                                
                          See ex-flags for [flags].
