And honestly, nano as the default makes sense, it’s lightweight and gets the job done. I still have that as my default.

Honestly, most of the defaults are good enough for me. I just run vi and it does the job well enough. If I need to configure a good dev environment, I’ll just install stuff with apt-get install and mangle stuff onto my PATH.

Debian, because I can just have a computer without needing to fiddle with a million things. I work in tech and don’t want to mess with any more code or configurations if I’m on my own computer. It’s worked for me for 5 years and has worked for others for 30 years.

What’s with everyone recommending a different distro instead of trying to help the user in the thread?

Color me confused, but what’s wrong with stock Debian?
