- First Time Emacs User on macOS - Need Guidance!

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).

(Halv) Automated Emacs build with Emacs
You might find this shell script for building emacs useful. https://github.com/mclear-tools/build-emacs-macos

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.

A nano like text editor built with pure C
Neat, I am a fan of minimalist text editors. There is also uEmacs: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
- Linus UEmacs
-
How many years have you been using Emacs?
maybe you're talking about the uEmacs Linus Torvalds still uses today? it's still maintained by him to fit his needs: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
-
Glory to Vim!
u/DellOptiplexFan Ironic, since the literal creator of Linux uses a fork of microemacs https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
-
what terminal editor was intended to replace emacs in macOS with emacs bindings?
Torvalds's Emacs is nice. https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
-
I just learned that new Macs don't come with Emacs preinstalled
Looks like he uses a thing called uEmacs.
-
Setting up a fundraiser for multi-threaded Emacs, any thoughts on this?
Why don't you ask Linus? Or even better, read his motivation in his fork of microemacs (not GNU Emacs).
-
Sunsetting Atom Text Editor
He doesn't. Linus uses MicroEMACS [0], which is an entirely different editor that uses emacs bindings.
It's not the lisp machine that incidentally happens to edit code that GNU Emacs is.
Or, as he puts it [1]:
> I use this abomination called "micro-emacs", which has absolutely nothing to do with GNU emacs except that some of the key bindings are similar.

- Starting emacs without any Elisp and only the C-core?

Linus thinks emacs is terrible
Then on the other hand he has his own fork of µEmacs: https://github.com/torvalds/uemacs
