    In every post of this kind I am amazed at so many people using nano instead of micro which is SO MUCH BETTER while being the same thing at the same time.

      When you help manage thousands of servers with vim and nano already installed, it’s just faster to use one of those than installing something else nearly ever single time.

      I prefer nano for quick edits of small files, but vim for hunting down things in larger files.

        Or you can preinstall micro like you preinstall everything else 😅

      Holy cow. You can use your mouse with micro. Amazing.

        You can have mouse support with nano. Alt-m toggles it on or off.

          Oh wow. Weird that it defaults to off.

            You can change that in the nanorc along with changing key binds, colors, and the like.

        And all the shortcuts are SANE, not the weird thing of nano

      I’ve discovered it just a few days ago and now use it on all my machines

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.
