SSUPII comments on What feature/utility/app are you surprised is not installed by default in Linux distributions?

For almost all users, especially beginners, nano is just simpler faster and better. A lot of distributions are bundling it, and I am finding indeed systems without vim at all.

Although most of the times while vim is not installed vi is. Even often together with nano.

Especially for beginners, micro would be even better.

Ok i think i overeacted. I couldn't figure out how to exit it, so i assumed it was like vim. Needed to exit Termux manually (which i hate) but the ctrl+s & q is easy. Will consider it another option to remember like moving from cat to bat

I'm surprised there aren't more distros that come packaged with it. If someone's used a graphical text editor in the past decade, then they know how to use micro. The only distro I know of that has it by default is Garuda.
