Using init.el as a wrapper to a primary config
btw, I'm using the https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering package to determine the location of the custom.el: https://github.com/onetom/onetomacs/blob/main/lib/use-no-littering.el

Newbie here: temporary files and startup page
i use the package no-littering, it's change the default directory for temporary, backup and others files created by packages to two dir, etc and var, so the ~/.emacs.d and buffer directory keep clean from this kind of files

New to emacs and having some confusion
https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering this moves the backups away, iirc. but I remember from some Emacs videos, that some ppl actually keep all their backup files, so they can grep them, in case they overwrite something, which they haven't committed into version control.
-
bookmark+ - backups not working. Do they for you?
I do use no-littering that doesn't appear to be hiding anything. ~/.emacs.d/var/bmkp/current-bookmark.el contains my bookmarks. Thats the only file there.

https://www.spacemacs.org/ is a layer on top of emacs that solves a number of shortcomings including a more modern UI. If you use https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, you can always run emacs and spacemacs independently, both for learning, troubleshooting etc.

Is it worth renouncing evil and becoming a good person?
I asked this same question a year and half ago and since that post I started reading Mastering Emacs by Mickey Petersen which was really helpful, I used Chemacs to keep my evil config around in case I give up. But I ended up dropping that config and I realized I wasn't really into modal editing. It took me one month to get used to my new config but that was worth it, everything in Emacs became consistent.

Starting fresh?
Perhaps the biggest game changer in my new init file is chemacs2. This allows one to choose one among many possible ".emacs.d" directories to use for the emacs that is being invoked.
What are some alternatives?
