And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;)

I started learning Emacs at the same time I was learning to code. Once I found Doom it was pretty straightforward. Before that...it wasn't fun.

I'm currently trying out lazyvim, and I think the Emacs approach is a lot more accessible to beginners because:

  • it does everything on its own instead of relying on you knowing cli tools

  • :help is just sad when compared to C-h, and generally the in-editor docs and guides are a lot worse

  • Doom is a lot more opinionated than lazyvim, but it also requires a lot less manual setup

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
