emacs-config VS emacs.d

As others have pointed out, Doom uses straight.el and there are some pretty notable Doom configurations around, for instance, tecosaurs's.

I tried to adapt this config https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-config but a lot of cool features in the config don't work because they use Xorg apps. I'd like to know if there's someone that already went through this route so I can see how they did it

As a heads up this is not OP's config, but I believe the github repo related to this config https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-config may hold it

With doom you have the option to stay close to its defaults (e.g. henriks config: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs-private/blob/master/config.el), extend and configure doom emacs (e.g. tecosaurs config: https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-config) or build off it and make it your own (e.g. https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.emacs shameless plug)

It seems u/tecosaur has been able to use Github Actions to generate HTML/PDF on export. Though his setup seems to be "involved" :/

The emacs-config of tecosaur (https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-config) is used with the recent Doom.

This config has a section on using emacs as a systemd service. I haven't tried it personally, but it may be helpful for you.

Thanks! Like many nice things, I am profiting off someone else's nice work here 😁. You can find it in my config repo. Feel absolutely free to reuse/modify it (it's what I've done after all)!

My Emacs journey is from purcell/emacs.d, and then simplified it with use-package and Borg, and only keep the packages I need. Purcell's config is a very nice starter kit.

I prefer these functions from purcell's config because the last buffer is the buffer I want 80% of the time. https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/init-windows.el

Emacs demands you to learn it over a lifetime. That’s how it is, unless you give up to doom or purcell config or some other config maintained by a very knowledgeable emacs hacker.

Eight months ago, I saw this tweet from Steve Purcell, the maintainer of the famous purcell's emacs.d config. Seeing that he was left org-mode for a new tool, discouraged me from using Emacs and building my own config. It also encouraged me to try Logseq, which is one of the most popular PKM tools alongside Obsidian.

Steve Purcell's emacs.d satisfies this checklist. It's not as feature packed as Doom, so beginners should have a look at. Another is Kaushal Modi's .emacs.d.

If you want to use flycheck instead, may be you can have look the flymake-flycheck , and the author's Emacs configuration: https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/init-flymake.el
