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.

The first things I install on a fresh linux install are always
htop(task manager) andmicro(nano but better).Have you looked at btop by chance? More visually appealing to me,, but still in terminal.
I find it really hard to read for getting the information I need quickly, too much going on with too much useless info.
That's fair, there is more info and suffering font sizes. I usually minimize the disk use window myself.
I have used both, but have stuck with nano. Why do you personally choose micro over nano?
It has shortcuts that feel a little more natural to me and the ootb theming makes files more easy to navigate.
I know you can also theme nano but I'm lazy
Oh no judgment, purely curiosity here.
Never felt it as judgement :)
