Glory to your terminal and your home directory! I have built my own emacs from source! (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As part of my "denazify my life" program, I decided to rekindle my old love for emacs and get off the MS IDEs once and for all. I thought I'd be adventurous and check out DoomEmacs, which led me down a rabbit hole of compiling emacs from source for the first time. After a long evening of shaving yaks though, GLORY IS MINE! I have built the latest emacs, layed on the latest doomemacs, and gotten them to load and... you know... do stuff!

Now I can finally get back to the project I originally set off on, updating my way out of date website! Tomorrow....!

Ok, you've built the OS, but have you built a text editor for it yet? /jk

They did say Doom Emacs is installed, which includes vim 😅

I am but a humble vim enjoyer, I just read the description of Doom Emacs, and now my brain hurts!

I went in and disabled that, haha, I'm here to fight EVIL!

Plus I still apparently have a lot of muscle memory for emacs commands. I sat down to it and was like "what are my hands doing? How are all these buffers opening?"

Kudos*! I've compiled DooM emacs too some time ago but didn't quite realize how to use it, still stick to noob friendly Portacle which just runs out of the box
