telega.el VS exwm

telega is the best messaging client I ever used. https://github.com/zevlg/telega.el

I just skimmed at the responses and already noticed some wrong parts: according to the Telegram git repo, Telegram supports version of Emacs 26.1+, there is really no need to “make sure you have the latest version of Emacs installed on your system”

Initially I thought about telega.el, telegram client which is, as far as I know, also uses json to communicate with server part written with C

https://github.com/zevlg/telega.el has a fairly rich user interface with active use of graphics

Telegram 😎

Regarding your points: 1. I use Firefox + Tridactyl, which seems a perfect combination: the rich ecosystem of Firefox and keyboard-controlled browser (was using qutebrowser before). There's also a browser in EAF, I don't know if anyone uses that, but it's an option I guess. 2. There is telega.el, which is an Emacs client for Telegram. There are also clients for Matrix & IRC, but not for any other mainstream messengers because their API is closed. There are also email clients for Emacs, I'm using notmuch. 3. Definitely check out org-roam.

There have been tiling window managers based around Emacs before. I think the most recent I tried was https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm -- in this case the window manager is itself emacs, and your windows are buffers in emacs etc.

It makes a lot of sense, since Emacs does its own tiling, and one is usually familiar with the keystrokes already, and then you don't have tiling in tiling.

So I keep meaning to go back and try this again, or something similar, but I recall it having issues with a lot of my commonly used applications back when I tried it.

When I get in the tiling mood, I use regolith, which is a nice packaging up of i3 in with the gnome environment. I'd love to have something like that, but built around emacs.

The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

I do the following things in Emacs: window management, window management, file management, web browsing, mail, streaming music, chatting, shell management, version control, and life organization.

WM: EXWM Emacs X Window Manager

In the case of Arch you could take a look at https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm

EXWM is a full-blown tiling window manager for X11 that runs in Emacs. I've been using it for years. It's kind of difficult to get going, but I'd never switch back now.

Suddenly, I have that uniformity and consistent experience everywhere, and only a single configuration language to learn and use to get things how I like them.

If you like both emacs and tiling window managers, I strongly recommend it.
