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Now I can finally get back to the project I originally set off on, updating my way out of date website!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

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
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?”
