It's been a while since I had a fresh installation of Linux, but I don't think it has git preinstalled. You need to install it first and each destruction use different way of installing packages.

Absolutely true! The popularity of Linux distributions varies, and even if Git is included in the installation, it often needs updating. Each distro has its own package management system, making commands a bit different.

I have never seen git installed by default, Linux distributions never have developer tools installed.

This is a official GitHub blog "github.com/git-guides/install-git" that claims Git comes installed by default on some popular Linux distro.
