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.

Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?

I'm not struggling with vim since I sticked to nano. Personally to me vim appears kinda legacy, it's not bad if one uses it, but I just have nano. It is like oldschool phone keyboard - it still does the job perfectly, but I'm not using it. However, some people argue, that vim is still the only available text editor on some setups, so it is highly recommended to know it.
