- glandium 4y agoYou'll find smaller editors like nano or nvi installed by default more often than vim.
- sanxiyn 4y agoFedora made nano default in 2020: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseNanoByDefault https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseNanoByDefault
- HeckFeck 4y agoOh, you, IBM. I'm more of an $ apt remove --purge nano > /dev/null man myself.
- eddyfromtheblok 4y agothe bare minimum at one point was just ed(1), the line editor. vi (without the m) wasn't a guarantee. I had an all-purpose cshrc that added /usr/ucb because vi was installed there on some systems, along with other BSD programs
- ShredKazoo 4y agoWhat does /usr even mean?
- lproven 4y agoAs I understand it, historically, it was the tree for user home directories. The two main designers, `dmr` and `ken`, built tools in their home directories under there and shared stuff from there. Then they ran out of space and needed to spill over onto another drive, so home directories got moved to `/home`.
- WhyNotHugo 4y agoUnix Shared Resources, if I recall correctly.
- aap_ 4y agoUnfortunately many distros aren't even shipping ed anymore.
- mongol 4y agoNixOS
- Cupertino95014 4y agoSame here. It was called "vi" and not "vim" as I recall, but it was always there.
- seabrookmx 4y agoHave you used Ubuntu or Fedora? Both default to nano. IIRC Ubuntu atleast comes with vi, but vi != vim.
