There some basic text editors for linux that are less complicated (also less powerful) than “flag” editors like vi or emacs
nano
- Terminal based text editor
- Very Simple
- Provides help in the lower part of screen
- Comes by default in some systems, but not all
- Can be configured (and extended) with the
/etc/nanorcfile
gedit
- Similar to notepad
- Graphical editor
- Default in ubuntu systems (only desktop versions)
