I thought it was a derivative of Debian and/or Ubuntu? Wikipedia has it
in the 'Ubuntu derivatives' category. But anyhow, it doesn't behave

used (visudo, git, systemctl edit) I got nano.
Linux Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, thus is a member of the Debian family.

Dunno. Maybe if Debian and Ubuntu defaulted to vi there'd be 5,000,000
people? :D
Probably! :D
