      What distros don’t include tmux and vim? Ubuntu has had them for at least a decade.

        by default?

        My work laptop came with Ubuntu preinstaled and didn’t have tmux nor htop.

        Vim is not present by default in at least debian and arch. Although vi is present in every distribution I believe.

          I can see that being the case for the Desktop variant. For the Server variant you get vim and tmux out of the box.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
