1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

    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 remove France.

    After this post, here is how you can ACTUALLY do all of that with Emacs.

    All of these Emacs extensions are basically text-based and more or less difficult to use. You WILL have the core functions of the Google stuff, but don't expect to have a good time.

    Degoogling:

    For all my Emacs users out there, am I missing something ? Do you have alternatives / more usable recommandations ?-

    I have been so lazy when it comes to learn emacs and vim, but this sounds interesting enough as a start

    [–] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 days ago (9 children)

    Interesting for sure, but I would not recommend going for most of these packages unless you are already very familiar with Emacs.

    Here are the steps I would recommend if you find motivation to learn the editor:

    1. Install it, learn the basic use and navigation
    2. Focus on learning and configuring it for your main use-case (writing code in a specific language, taking notes, writing papers, playing Tetris, etc.). This might take a while.
    3. Question life, re-try VSCode and get instantly grossed out.
    4. ???
    5. Try weird packages, moving most of you digital life inside Emacs.

    Enjoy =)

    Thank you, I didn't mean I'll rush and install all of the mentioned things in the post, but it motivates me to learn

    actually I have two problems: 1- I don't know where to start 2- I'm too lazdy to search for resources so I start

    And please don't mention that VS code piece of shit in front of me even as an example, I can only use Windows as OS , one product by Microsoft is enough to tortue me

    Answer to both 1 and 2: start with an Emacs "distro" like Doom Emacs or Spacemacs. Starting from scratch as a beginner is a surefire way to quit.

    Thank you , I'll check it
