GNU nano 8.0 Released with New Options and Various Improvements
(9to5linux.com)
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.

apt purge nano
is one of the first things I do on a new Debian installation. Much easier to remember than having to useupdate-alternatives
,select-editor
and the$EDITOR
variable to convince the likes ofvigr
,vipw
,visudo
,crontab -e
,... that I really want to use vim as my primary editor.Honestly unreasonably infuriates me when I enter
visudo
and find myself innano
... Like, did I typenanosudo
? Hell no!
