So after my struggles getting this setup going I’m really enjoying this setup.

Thought I’d post here as there is quite a bit of intersectionality between the emacs, Arch, Steamdeck, Nix and Mechboards communities.

Spec as follows:

  1. Steamdeck (LCD);
  2. SteamOS 3.5 Preview (Arch based and compatible with Nix packages);
  3. Emacs 29 (via Nix package);
  4. DooM config + some tweaks of my own; and
  5. Corne Light v2 with random DSA caps.

Ambitions for this setup are:

  1. Better emacs-fu (thanks to everyone here with their help so far);
  2. RGB underglow on the keyboard for 90s vibes;
  3. Printed keycaps in jazzy colours;
  4. Better keymap (maybe Miryoku or something with homerow mods)

    Lol, I started with ipodlinux. That Svalboard looks great.

    Kudos for working deeply in emacs every day - I’ve been an occasional user (weekly / monthly) for 2+ years. I feel like I google / M-x more than I actually work. Many a time I’ve felt like quitting.

    WSLg will hopefully change that, at least in the office.

    About the comments, I think people have been OK on the whole - I was expecting far more actual hate
