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.

Nano is notepad, but with worse mouse integration. It's Vim/Emacs without any of the features. It's the worst of both worlds
If you want ease, just use a GUI notepad. If you want performance boosts, suck it up and learn Emacs or Neovim
Why would you use a mouse in a console editor? Most of the time, if you're using Nano, it's because you're not in a GUI environment.
Heaven forbid I want to use an intuitive, simple, terminal based text editor when I ssh into one of my boxes.
But here's the real kicker. Why do people like you give two shits what text editor other people use?
What if you want ease on a terminal?
