Title: Option to change the default terminal editor (ex: from vi to nano)

Comment:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Using vi as the default terminal editor can be challenging, especially for less experienced users. Many users find nano much more intuitive and user-friendly for basic text editing.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding an option in Linutil to change the default terminal editor during setup would be great. For instance, allowing users to select between vi, nano, or another editor would enhance user experience, especially for beginners.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Users can manually change the default editor by adjusting the symbolic link in /etc/alternatives/editor, but having this option integrated into Linutil would provide a smoother, more user-friendly process.

Additional context

This small feature would make the utility even more accessible to a wider range of users. Thank you for considering this, and for all the amazing work you’ve put into Linutil!

---

Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into this project. Linutil is an amazing tool, and it’s truly making Linux more accessible and user-friendly. I’ve also suggested a few other features in separate issues that might interest you, and I’d be excited to see any of these improvements considered.

Again, I really appreciate the dedication and effort from the development team. Keep up the great work, and thanks for making the Linux experience better for everyone! 🙌

This would conflict with the users shell configuration

We just have to put a warning in this case

/close not planned

This will conflict with the users shell configuration. Also this is very unnecessary for people who use GUI based text editors.

I'll look into it and re-open this in the future if I think it can be viable.
