Not just browser, it also has bash shell, irc clients, games and what not programming tools. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- centzon400 · 2022-12-13 08:09 And a psychotherapist. `M-x doctor` ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DrPiwi · 2022-12-13 08:11 My text editor is my OS. All I need now is a decent text editor :-D Looking at it this way I guess we can solve that by runnning vi in a vterm session in Emacs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mok000 · 2022-12-13 09:04 Yeah, get lost chatGPT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Drishal · 2022-12-13 09:33 There is pen.el iirc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- minorcontribution · 2022-12-13 10:05 Your coworker frequents /r/linuxmemes I [see](https://old.reddit.com/r /linuxmemes/comments/zjvi45/i_dont_like_electron/) :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Awkward_Tradition · 2022-12-13 10:09 >Looking at it this way I guess we can solve that by runnning vi in a vterm session in Emacs. Watch your words heretic, for evil-mode gives our OS the best editor! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- artyhedgehog · 2022-12-13 10:10 Try emacs. It's a decent text editor for programmers. It can run in terminal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlowValue · 2022-12-13 10:24 My text editor even uses eight megabytes of RAM ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kikechan · 2022-12-13 10:58 (and constantly swapping) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sunnyata · 2022-12-13 13:28 I know it's a joke but you're perpetuating the idea that Emacs users are technologically illiterate (IE they don't know what an OS is). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- guygastineau · 2022-12-13 13:58 I thought it was making fun of how many features we've packed into emacs over the years? Of course, most people think DE = OS, so it could (perhaps incidentally) make fun of people thinking EXWM is an "OS". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DrPiwi · 2022-12-13 14:25 I am running Emacs The joke was that I run Vim in a vterm session running in Emacs :-D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-12-13 14:27 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DrPiwi · 2022-12-13 14:28 >evil-mode gives our OS the best editor! Blasphemy! Off with his head! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- InternalImpact2 · 2022-12-13 14:33 With the older clisp, basically yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- artyhedgehog · 2022-12-13 14:37 I get it. But why won't you run Emacs in your vterm session running in Emacs? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- terminal_cope · 2022-12-13 15:57 I have never have felt the jokes are in that vein. At worst I think it's sneering from the perspective of the Unix philosophy of tools doing a single job. I think it's wrong headed because Emacs is a suite of tools, not one tool. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DrPiwi · 2022-12-13 15:58 Wow. That is so meta! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Awkward_Tradition · 2022-12-13 16:09 Forgive me Stallman for I have sinned. But it's a lot more comfortable, doesn't give me RSI on a laptop keyboard, and has cool functionality like typing va) in normal mode to select the parens and everything in them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LiftedStarfisherman · 2022-12-13 16:35 At this point, Emacs is becoming it's own DE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kingpatzer · 2022-12-13 17:55 Becoming? https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- xombul · 2022-12-13 18:05 I think I get it, it’s sarcasm, right ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nmsalgueiro · 2022-12-13 21:47 No, you got that wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NotFromSkane · 2022-12-13 22:15 vterm isn't fast enough to use vim comfortably, unless there's some performance hack I'm missing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yantar92 · 2022-12-14 06:03 `(setq vterm-timer-delay nil)` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- klikklakvege · 2022-12-14 10:31 My emacs runs through gotty in the browser. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NotFromSkane · 2022-12-14 13:49 Oooh, nice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cosmofur · 2022-12-15 15:28 There was a time when that was a legitimate issue with Emacs. (I remember back in the early minux days, we couldn't run a full emacs becaue of the 64K bank limits) But today name a Windows OS IDE that running well in anything less than 8GB? I can only think of one, and that emacs in a WLS terminal. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlowValue · 2022-12-15 20:26 Yes, I remember times when Emacs felt slow an huge, and nowadays people say Emacs is small and (mostly) fast. :) So I intentionally mentioned the "8 Megabytes". :)
