what distributions do install emacs by default? (referring to "are present on"). Maybe it should say available instead of present

- Learn basic Bash. Actually, type `man bash` and at least skim the whole thing; it's pretty easy to follow and not that long. Alternate shells can be nice, but Bash is powerful and always available (learning *only* zsh, fish, etc., while tempting on your own laptop, restricts you in many situations, such as using existing servers).

- Learn at least one text-based editor well. Ideally Vim (`vi`), as there's really no competition for random editing in a terminal (even if you use Emacs, a big IDE, or a modern hipster editor most of the time).
- Learn at least one text-based editor well. The most common ones are Vim (`vi`), Emacs, Nano and Ed. Knowing one of these will allow you to make changes on most Linux-based systems, as these editors are present in most default setups.

If we're editing the verbiage around vim here, I'd suggest against referring to vi and vim as if they are one and the same.
