      Hell yeah gotta embrace the pain of using archaic key bindings that you’ll forget until the next time you need to edit a file in the terminal, you must suffer like man. Modem and sane terminal editors are for pussies! If it doesn’t load in 0.01 ms it’s bloated… Whatever you do don’t install anything like micro, just keep suffering!

        Personally I am of the nonanoist denomination. I will curse all the demons of hell when on a new system I type vipw or systemctl edit some.service and I am unexpectedly faced with the demon called nano. Words cannot describe how much I loathe this pityful excuse for an editor, this usurper of editing powers, this illegitimate occupier of the editor symlink. How dare you insult me, the omnipotent god called root, by presenting me with a training tool for novices?!

        Fortunately, there are ancient spells that can nullify its powers. ‘I command you: be gone Satan’, I will utter under my breath as I carefully type in the magic incantation to cast it back into the fiery chasm from whence it came:

        apt -y purge nano

          I exclusively use kate.
          If the server doesn’t have a GUI I install KDE first, so it can be administered properly.

            I … have no problems with that. I wouldn’t do what you do, but it’s your server and kate’s a good GUI editor. I use it too when I’m in a GUI workflow. The only issue I have with kate is that it hangs if a mountpoint (NFS or Samba share) is temporarily unavailable.
