Re: What programs do you make sure are installed on a new Linux

After consideration ...... you only install WHAT YOU ARE
LIKELY TO *NEED*. That will vary from person to person,
app to app, year to year. The more shit you install the
more complicated things get.
Just make sure 'nano' is there. There's a trick to
setting the default editor to nano, find it. I know
Manjaro doesn't just assume this - loves to default
to the horrible 'vi' or 'vim'. Nano makes things
SO much nicer - like kinda up to 1984  :-)
