vi is definitely different being a modal editor. If you are new to Linux, I would suggest nano. It is much easier to understand, even if it isnt as fast as vi can be. Many distros have it installed, and pretty much all of them should have it in their repos.
nano always bugged/confused me. Something like ne would be better. But even then, really, if you’re using *nix, you should learn at least the basics of vi(m).
