Hello there .
I am using as my OS devuan gnu+linux .
The point is I like philosophy of Unix using like tmux + nvim + mutt .
and I love the vi keybings so much …

Sometimes I am thinking to switch to gnu emacs … but I feel that I will find some difficulties
and I am afraid .

Is there a easy way to use emacs ?
can someone help or give me some YT videos to watch to have a good idea about emacs ?

    It’s hard to convince people but, Emacs is simple. Have you tried showing your grandmother how to use a computer? Emacs has it’s own way a little, but it’s a simple way. So long as you don’t commit to it before you’re comfortable with it, and so long as you don’t install packages except magit, Emacs won’t come at a cost.

    Also can we all agree that tmux nvim and mutt don’t quite follow the Unix philosophy? Compared to Emacs, one could say Emacs is closer to the Unix philosophy (until you bloat it)
