Hello there .
I am using as my OS devuan gnu+linux .
The point is I like philosophy of Unix using like tmux + nvim + mutt .
and I love the vi keybings so much …
Sometimes I am thinking to switch to gnu emacs … but I feel that I will find some difficulties
and I am afraid .
Is there a easy way to use emacs ?
can someone help or give me some YT videos to watch to have a good idea about emacs ?
emacs -nw loads pretty fast if you defer loading your packages until first use. It can easily fit into a vim-like command line workflow on modern computers. The emacs demon is an option if you have a slow init.
Although traditionally you treat Emacs as a giant program you never quit. Stay inside and open files within Emacs.
Emacs + tmux works great too. Most people are GUI Emacs users, but the TUI is first class.
You need to try Emacs at least once in your life. It gives a glimpse at what lisp development feels like. In lisp you develop your program while it runs. The code is more than dead text in a file. It’s alive. The software is alive and you develop it by interacting with it. The relationship between source and image is more seamless. Emacs embodies this.
No one knows what they don’t know. Emacs is the first step to knowing. Emacs is god.
