The only Dad advice you nerds need:

mcedit from the Midnight Commander (mc) tool is the superior text editor.

I don't even run arch, btw.

Ok, let's try that

FIrst

Ok, that is already more storage space than openwrt needs to run a full linux distro

root@proxmox:~# mc mytestfile.txt

Esscuse me, the fuck is this !?

You're looking at the full mc package rather than just mcedit. Even then, Midnight Commander is absolutely worth that whopping 7.9MB of space it takes for all the functionality it provides.

Openwrt is not an example to use to compate against a package size, as it's target built to fit into small firmware storage spaces on all sorts of random hardware. That's comparing existential philosophy with oranges.

Would you download a car?
