From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Someday I want to teach myself emacs so that I can get rid of rest of the operating system.

EXWM is a literal emacs graphical desktop, its insane in the best way possible.

First release to have the pgtk port, which means native Wayland.

Hasn't pgtk been an option for compile for a while? Been using it at least half a year or longer

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but not in a stable version. Although I'll say that the daemon is still bugged for me with pgtk, but it could be a distribution issue.

EmacsOS when? Seriously I need more emacs in my life but EXWM stalls so the only solution is to emacify every element of the setup to make it not stall (no change need for EXWM as it is emacs and thus perfect)
