  • Install Guix and configure as declaratively as possible?
    1 project | /r/GUIX | 20 Mar 2023
    Check out https://github.com/daviwil/dotfiles and the SystemCrafters YouTube channel and Github page. Lots of good stuff there for full system configuration.

    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 5 Feb 2023
    Then check out the System Crafters website. There is a youtube channel, but David Wilson's notes and his dotfiles are quicker to navigate if you know what you're looking for.
  • New to emacs; will you hold my hand?
    7 projects | /r/emacs | 2 Sep 2022
    I was watching some videos and saw this https://github.com/daviwil/dotfiles/blob/master/Emacs.org, which is HUUUGE. Is there some other resource that I can just start with one piece/package at a time and keep adding more slowly?

    You should avoid using sudo -E or your home directory is slowly gonna fill up with root-owned files.
  • Is emacs for me?
    5 projects | /r/emacs | 28 Sep 2021
    Lisp take a while to learn, but you really don't need too much knowledge. I would recommend using blocks of code from others' configs as a beginner.
  • Emacs Behavioral Modifications
    7 projects | /r/emacs | 3 Apr 2021
    While watching a Systems Crafters playlist about emacs I decided I wanted to checkout his configuration to see if it had anything I would find useful. As his style of development is different from mine I did not find a whole lot, but I did find something useful. In his init.el he has a section that moves files like places to a different directory to keep his ~/.emacs.d clean. As I keep my ~/.emacs.d directory as a symbolic link to my dotfiles repository I immediately added this to my configuration; however, it does not seem to work at least as I expected it to. Within my init.el I have a block of code that is copied from his, but modified slightly to create ~/.cache/emacs if it does not already exist, and then apply the changes to where these files should be stored. I don't seem to get any errors, but this also does not seem to change where those files get stored. Am I misunderstanding what his block of code does?
