Thank you so much for listing
tealdeer. It’s way faster thantldr.You’re welcome! If you’re a different spez. If you are the Reddit spez, you are not welcome.
I think most people (including myself) prefer a minimal desktop by default, and then proceed to install only the software they need. Nevertheless, it always surprises me when I log in to a system that doesn’t have vim.
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.
Especially for beginners,
microwould be even better.I’ve been using nano for 10+ years. Found micro and it is superior. Had to alias nano so that it opens micro instead, though. Hard to break such habits.
I hate itI could see that if you’re more skilled at something like vim.

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
cattobatAh, gotcha. Yeah the keybindings are very sensible especially for people coming from Windows. I do think it’s better than Nano for newcomers.
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.
Although most of the times while vim is not installed vi is. Even often together with nano.
Man I tried to use vi once because I started with vim and wanted to see what all it was before, and holy shit vim really is IMPROVED
I disagree. Don’t get me wrong, vim is amazing and all that, but I think nano is easier for new users to grok out of the box, making it a better choice most of the time. What it lacks in features it makes up for in transparency.
100% agree about the minimal set of desktop apps, though. That drives me crazy.
Just my 0.02$.
Edit: silly mistakes and clarification
In all distro I tried, I always found Vi.
Vi is standardized in both POSIX and Single Unix Specification.
but they do contains vi
Traceroute.
Tracer T
Does anyone know why this isn’t included?
It’s always so useful for network stuff.
Git. I feel like that is a pretty important part of any linux os nowadays
EPUB reader
Biggest surprise here is that browsers still have no EPUB support build in. It’s such a mind boggling oversight. They even got PDF support, but long form xHTML content is somehow still a big no.
Only Edge had EPUB for a little while, but even that got lost when they switched to Chromium.
Ya, epub is just html + zip
KDE Connect on KDE distros, just feels part of the KDE experience
openssh-server, how can you connect to your PC from elsewhere without sshd ?!?
git really should be installed by default these days
htop
What’s the point to install htop when top is being preinstalled like 99% of time?
Much easier and faster to get useful information out of htop.
With all my respect, there is nothing difficult to get information from top.
udisks2.
A Doom-clone. I mean, come on.
Seriously tho, Gparted for how useful it is.
tmux, htop, vim
I was surprised that gnome ships with comes with it in default.
What distros don’t include tmux and vim? Ubuntu has had them for at least a decade.
by default?
My work laptop came with Ubuntu preinstaled and didn’t have tmux nor htop.
Vim is not present by default in at least debian and arch. Although vi is present in every distribution I believe.
I can see that being the case for the Desktop variant. For the Server variant you get
vimandtmuxout of the box.
vim
nslookupquite a few times I’d try and resolve a domain name only to find out the command isn’t available and I’d need to google what package adds it.no nslookup, go with dig
I thought it was deprecated in favor of the host and dig commands.
