The Framework Laptop 13
I enabled the pstate driver yesterday for my T14s gen3 (AMD). It almost doubled my battery life, the fan never spins anymore and it's very very quiet and cool now. You need to specifically enable it in Linux kernel, this is how I did it:

It should also be used together with the `shedutil` governor for the best results.

What’s New in Emacs 28.1?
Wayland support didn't make it... Oh well it is in version 29.
I've been using the wayland version with libgccjit many months now from their git repo and it is extremely snappy and stable editor.
My strategy to keep all of this together is a nix derivation that compiles the latest master branch with all the plugin. Oh and my config is an org file with clear comments...
https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/tree/main/desktop/emacs
All reproducible...
Btw. I recommend SystemCrafters video series Emacs from scratch. It teaches how to make a vanilla emacs to work like doom emacs does. It was helpful for me to understand the magic behind doom...

XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
I kind of have a thing for ThinkPads, and I have three laptops with NixOS:
- ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2018 model. Even the fingerprint reader works with this one. And fractional scaling for the 4k monitor! Config: https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/blob/main/hosts/purrpurr.nix
- ThinkPad T25. Everything except the fingerprint reader works. https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/blob/main/hosts/muspus.nix
- ThinkPad X230: Everything works here. The classic workhorse. https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/blob/main/hosts/meowmeow.nix
I never tried anything else except ThinkPads just because I'd miss the TrackPoint a lot...

Bye Cups: Printing with Netcat
I used to dread setting up printers on any operating system. I've done it countless of times with Linux, Windows and macOS, and it's been quite common to have some kind of fight with the printer until I get my paper out.
Only recently, by buying a Brother laser printer at home, and setting all my machines to use NixOS, I haven't been needing to think about printer problems anymore. All I need is this piece of config, and the printer will Just Work with the new computer:

Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkit
I did a month, diving directly into the deep end with flakes and all. I don't know, it really is hard in the beginning. Like, really hard. But eventually I got myself a setup I could use in my two laptops and workstation. A setup, that sets my home directory, all my programs and my custom desktop just the way I want. Everything is in the github repo, and installing with the flake will give me the exact experience I have in my other machines.
I tend to use lots of custom tools and commands, that are really painful to install and setup for a new machine. With NixOS all of it is just one command away.
But, I agree, it is REALLY HARD in the beginning to grasp things.
Here's my configs if you want to see how I approached my own setup: https://github.com/pimeys/nixos

When Miguel de Icaza stopped using Linux
And I come here always to remind people in the Apple bubble, that there are big groups of us who are not thinking like that!
I'm also soon in my 40s and I had my Apple years between 2004 and 2010. I came back to Linux and kind of hate the word tinkering even. The current Linux system offers something that nobody else does: your own desktop just how you like it.
I have my configs in GitHub: https://github.com/pimeys/nixos
With this config, I can take any ThinkPad (that are plentiful, great HW and cheap), boot from USB and get the same exact desktop experience I've had for almost a decade now in twenty minutes.
And what kind of desktop? A minimal tiling window manager on top of Wayland. Exactly the applications I need. The same wallpaper as always. The same editor, the same browser, the same keyboard shortcuts, the same kernel params, the same internet setup. Sound? Always worked. With PipeWire, it even seems to work better than on my Windows installation (and replacing PulseAudio with PipeWire was a one line config change).
Now. There will be no product manager somewhere that will dictate how I use my computer. If something changes in my workflow, that comes from my configuration. Nowhere else. No advertisement for new products, no suddenly disappearing applications. If something breaks from an update, I just boot to the version before I started them and I'm back to the previous state. When updates are leaving me to a state I'm happy about, I commit them to that GitHub repo and they will work exactly the same until I decide to update again. And I run the master branch of NixOS which is breaking sometimes, and it's still much more stable experience I ever had with OSX...
Of course this is not for everybody, but please understand when celebrating the commercial offerings how there's so many of us who do not want a desktop experience dictated by product managers. Who are kind of conservative how our workflows should stay the same for years, or decades. And we are still super productive, doing our work and very happy using Linux.
I'm going to copy&paste this comment to every single Apple post from now on...

LSP could have been better
I'm curious to know what `company` does differently here than `corfu`. As a longtime user I couldn't be happier.

C —> Guile is moving in the wrong direction: rather than going from a poor-but-performant systems programming language like C to a pedagogic language like Scheme, it’d be a better idea to move to an rich-and-performant language meant for industrial systems programming like Common Lisp

Replacing packages with more "stripped down" packages
When I started using Emacs I was following the setup outlined by System Crafters, which I still think is a really good introduction. But, over the last few months I've started to replace packages with more "minimalist" or "stripped down" packages. I've switched from Ivy and Counsel to Vertico and Consult, and recently I switched from company to corfu for auto-completion.

Help a Linux kernel dev setup LSP
As for the Emacs configuration, you should only need a few lines of code, in order to get them up and running, if you are planning to keep your setup as close to vanilla as possible. If you are interested, you could additionally install a completion framework like company-mode to help you out.
