Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim… What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

    Neovim. One time I accidentally opened nano and couldn’t figure out how to get out of it… Wtf is with those keybinds?

    Lol at emacs not even being on your list. Suck it, emacs users 😂😂❤️

      Firstly, Emacs is not an alternative to any terminal based text editor, it’s an alternative to the terminal based workflow in general.

      Secondly, Emacs users can live without the hype, churn and elitism of the vim ecosystem and with a better editor instead.

        And not just an editor, but an entire environment! I’ve only been using emacs for a few weeks now, but i’m really enjoying it. I’m not a developer, but i still find magit really awesome to use for my git needs, and atp i’ve replaced yazi with dired as my keyboard-driven file manager.

        As the old joke goes: Emacs is great if you want to learn another OS.

        I’m a barbarian vim user. Whenever I watch a real Emacs user operate a full dev environment inside of Emacs I’m always left stunned. It’s a whole universe of functionality, not just a refined line editor like vim.
