Yeah, if you type :version (followed by <Enter>), vim (or vim
masquerading as vi) answers with about a page of information beginning
(in Vim on my system) with

VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Oct 22 2023 01:25:49)
Included patches: 1-2059
Compiled by antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com
Huge version with GTK3 GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

In a typical "Vim built as vi" the fourth line above typically begins
instead "Tiny version without GUI", like this:

VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Oct 22 2023 01:25:29)
Included patches: 1-2059
Compiled by antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com
Tiny version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

A tiny version of Vim is built with no expression evaluation (lower
down, in the part I didn't paste, it says -eval rather than +eval as
in a full-featured Vim or gvim), and that prevents some plugins
(including IIRC the tar plugin) from running.

Best regards,
Tony.
