I just learned that new Macs don't come with Emacs preinstalled
Though I don't love Ventura, running Emacs on MacOS has never really been a problem for me. It's also very easy to build Emacs. You can use this shell script if you like: https://github.com/mclear-tools/build-emacs-macos. I also list there a bunch of other build scripts from other users. Just as easy as homebrew really, with a lot more control (e.g. you can build whatever version of Emacs you like, at least back to 22).

GNU Emacs For Mac OS X warning message after macOS Monterey update
I build emacs myself from the master branch on an M1 and Monterey and don't see this issue. So it might be something either with your config or with that specific build setup.

What emacs to install on Macbook Air 2017, MacOS 11.6? I'm completely new to MacOS and emacs. Want to learn emacs+orgmode.
Here's the build script that I use. It is pretty dead simple. https://github.com/mclear-tools/build-emacs-macos

Shell script to build emacs on macos (works well with M1 mac on Monterey)
Hi all -- I've put a repo on github for building emacs on macos. There are several other such scripts available, but I've tried to make mine as simple to understand (I'm not a programmer) as possible (or as possible for me...). It currently works well for me but YMMV. Of course, I realize that there are a million ways to shave this yak, so I'd be curious if anyone has suggestions for improvement (though I'm also looking to keep things as simple as possible). I hope this might be of some use to people.

emacs distributions without evil?
You might look at crafted emacs and my own lambda-emacs (not sure if either of these are properly classified as "distros" though). Both default to vanilla Emacs bindings. The repo for lambda-emacs also has a bunch of links to some other great vanilla configs like Prelude, etc.

About to declare Emacs bankruptcy. Any advice for cool or new packages, defaults, or ideas I should use before I start building my init.el? Also interested in guides to using evil.
I am a professor in the humanities (philosophy) and I maintain a framework for Emacs (I don’t know if it rises to the level of “distro”) that is conducive to humanities work, including writing, notes, citations, a good ui, and basic programming. I’m happy to say more if you have any questions. https://github.com/Lambda-Emacs/lambda-emacs

A minimal customization that I can borrow
See my lambda-emacs and lambda-themes. They are meant for writing and readability.

7 - Meow: Meow is great. I switched from evil a few months ago and am pretty happy with it. I also dropped general.el for bind-key.el, which is included with use-package (which I see you are using anyway). You can look at my setup of meow here and a more generic setup of keybindings here. I haven't had any trouble with using this instead of general.
