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Now I can finally get back to the project I originally set off on, updating my way out of date website!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