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.

Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim... What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

Vim/neovim if you are willing to take the time to learn how to use / config it.

Micro otherwise, very sensible keybinds and ux that map to modern gui apps, though it doesn't come installed in most distro unlike ed and nano.

Vim barely needs configuration, btw Been wanting to try Neovim but I got overwhelmed when I tried to set it up and the default behaviour is different enough from vim to annoy me back to vim
