What are you using instead of emacs? I'm very happy with my doom emacs setup and it doesn't feel slow at all imo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I kinda wanna try Gentoo just for the experience, but as someone who already uses Arch, I'm worried it will take up more of my time than my current setup already does.
Kakoune, NixOS, dwl.
oooo. niri is a good one. I've had it installed on my fedora system for... Hell I don't even know how long but I just haven't been using it. I've really been wanting to use NixOS for a while but haven't had the motivation/determination to sit down and learn it.
Having my TrueNAS scale homeserver host some pihole, VPN and *arr. I’ve fallen behind the times.
I want to use global keyboard shortcuts with Wayland that can be defined in the application, not the compositor. This makes using Wayland much more difficult for me.
And I also want to use proper Flatpak file permissions, but for Flatpaks to stop generating fake stupid random file paths so that this common issue stops being an issue:
Come in and set the file path to my games directory in my emulator. It works fine. Come back a few days later and it loses all memory of games, because it is receiving a file path from a portal that no longer exists.
Have you tried copying your data into the flatpak's sandboxed 'environment in ~/var/app?
Same, niri. Want to move away from hyprland for so long. Also Emacs but I don't want to spend months configuring.
Also a foss android distro, but I can't find one for this phone.
there are also lots of other things like common lisp, Redox OS, cosmic desktop, trying to make my own compositor, rope science, activity pub, webtransport, bevy, ecs, and much more.
Edit: Hey, I finally installed niri and everything works!!!!!
Mainly Firefox. It has quite a good extensions engine, but the overall UX just still isn't there compared to other browsers. I really don't care about all the ethical or moral reasons people try to come up with for using it, I just want a browser that has a lot of good functionality in comparison with Edge or Vivaldi.
And while I am aware of some of the forks like Floorp and Librewolf, I find the latter to be too hardened, and the former to be behind compared to upstream.
