Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I am intrigued by this line in the description:
"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"
Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)
I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Emacs 29.1 Released
Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.

Need Help with Emacs as a Noob
Firstly as others have mentioned, the default Emacs distribution in macOS is very old and Doom doesn’t support it. If you haven’t already you would be better off downloading a newer version. You can download it straight from the GNU website, but I recommend emacs-plus as it has some macOS niceties thrown in.

Doom Emacs is broke for me and life just isn't the same
homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.

I asked the AI overlords for an over the top Emacs icon 😅
Awesome! You should create a PR to add it to https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/

Issue with pdf-tools on 3k display
Hi, I bought a galaxy book 3 ultra, which comes with a 2880x1800 display with 120hz. I am having a hard time to use github.com/vedang/pdf-tools with it. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time the scrolling of pdfs gets really slow. If I change the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets back to normal and scrolls smothly. I tried running both on xorg and wayland and got the same result. Also, I tried running on a fresh emacs installation with the only package being pdf-tools, and the issue is still there. Does anybody experienced something similar? I am using emacs 27.1 on PopOS 22.04.

Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Just started learning LaTeX. I have a few questions
If you want to avoid extra software from AUR, there's a plugin for Emacs called pdf-tools. Mind you will lose an option to forward/inverse search! AFAIK pdf-tools is supported in ArchLinux, so you could use already installed Emacs as a PDF viewer.

how to run pdf-view by default (and not Docview)
Pdf-view let you annotate the document. See https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools for more features. There are also quiet a few packages that work with pdf-tools.

Share your workflows for highlighting books - roam compatible epub reader with highlighting? nov.el / ereader
Under the hood everything uses pdftools -- you can do highlights and other annotations but they live in the original pdf.
