This topic is certainly of rather low relevance and we have more important things to do on
Fedora Server. And I did my research more "just for fun“ and out of curiosity.
Nevertheless, two remarks.
(a)
I would like some of those who insist on "bug" and "need to fix" with
vehemence here to work with equal vehemence on the bug regarding the difference between
net-install and dvd-install (issue #32 / #48, meeting & action
).
It has not been possible to solve this far more significant problem for a good six months
now. And with all our releases, we don't know whether we haven't caught another
problem like we did with Cockpit back then.
(b)
I'm a big fan of consistency in the user interface. But the "user
experience" of a server system administrator at a text console and a desktop user in
a GUI is quite different, to put it mildly. There is not much leeway for
"consistency". And it makes absolutely no sense, to want to treat such different
things the same.
@Daniel: Are you really doing development on a Server text console using nano? That's
what I would call 'hardcore development'. But you can do that even with vim as
default editor. 'Default' determines the editor that system administration tools
as crontab etc. use implicitly.
So, let’s keep vim as it currently is and focus on the important subjects.
Best

Hi all,
from am mere software developer, operator and/or user perspective I consider this a bug,
too. The design clearly describes, that nano is the default editor for „standard“.
https://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseNanoByDefault
Even if one wants to discuss this, that must be done somewhere else. For now, getting
this fixed to align with design decisions should be prioritized.
This shouldn’t be a matter of „tmux vs screen“, „vi vs nano“ or „bash vs *sh“, but a
matter of consistent Fedora Linux experience.
Best regards,
Daniel
