   Me: logs into #Linux server

   Me: vim filename

   Server: bash: vim: command not found

   Me: stares at the screen in disbelief "Ugh. Why, god, why? Did I accidentally log into a typewriter?"

     @nixCraft try emacs and If that works. If so you know exactly the reason 😅

     @nixCraft I'm disappointed that no one with a typewrite running `vim` has turned up yet.

     @nixCraft I refuse to acknowledge any distro as "Linux" that doesn't have all of the following:

     -vi(m)
     -cat/awk/sed/tail
     -ping
     -curl

     I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I always use.

     I'll even consider busybox a Linux derivative.

     anything without those is just sparkling Unix.
