I was using RHEL clones for a long time. Nothing
worked real well in them. Maybe I am remembering
then. Probably so as I dislike sudo and use beesu
and su instead most of the time
Well, I just fired up my centos7 and centos8 VM's and both worked fine using just vi.
beesu is simply a wrapper around su but does give you gui like interface. I think I used
it once a
long time ago.
