    First choice: use a normal damn GUI text editor

    Second choice: Nano. It’s simple and comprehensible, and a best CLI choice for newbies. You can then turn to vim, emacs, or whatever, but don’t make your life harder from the get-go

    People suggesting to start with Vim are probably the same ones pushing for Arch as a first distro. C’mon.

      use a normal damn GUI text editor

      The right choice as long as you don’t want to edit code/config files. Trust me, writing code inside libre office is not fun.

        Libre office isn’t a text editor it’s a document processor; more like a gui for something like TeX, or realisticially html, than a program for reading/editing plain text.
