I am new to emacs (I made a commitment to getting used to linux) & currently intimidated Can you help me out here?
Has anyone here configured Emacs for:
- Shell-scripting
- Markdown
- HTML+CSS
- Rust
Don’t know where to start (I do know the bare-min basics on using Emacs as a text-editor)
If your goal is to get started with Emacs, and have a lot of things pre-configured, Doom will get you there much faster than starting from scratch. It is opinionated, yes, and configuring it is somewhat different than building from scratch, but I would never recommend starting Emacs from scratch for someone new to it, unless I happen to know they like to suffer.
@algernon @kyoji I disgree. Doom is highly opinionated, and eschews emacs norms and defaults willfully and regularly. There are lots of good newbie-friendly modern setups that will get you off the ground and give you a good foundation to start personal customizations. Doom is not one of them. As well teach someone to drive by ordering them an Uber. Driven by someone who uses both feet.
