This was a great showcase thanks for sharing! I really appreciate the detailed list of software too, it always disappoints me when people share pics but no lists.
I tried Niri a while back and wasn't convinced, but your showcase has made me reconsider!
I disagree with this. I tried Doom when I first started using Emacs and yes, it gets you there faster, but it's extremely opinionated and essentially has it's own configuration language. I found that confusing when trying to learn how Emacs works, as there is "the Emacs" way, and then "the Doom" way.
Yes org-mode is an excellent alternative to markdown. Emacs offers a ton of features out of the box related to org-mode. However it is intrinsically tied with Emacs, so if you aren't sure about Emacs, then I wouldn't suggest using org-mode as a replacement just yet. I do encourage you to give it a shot though!
I currently run it in a Windows 10 VM using virt-manager and the virtio drivers from RedHat to enable OpenGL acceleration on a Windows guest. It is a decent experience. Would probably be much better if I passed a USB pointer directly into the VM instead of relying on virtualization.
Haven't tried it in WINE, and probably will never bother until the Affinity team take it seriously.
For language support, the response will depend on your needs/expectations. If all you want is highlighting, it will probably work out of the box. For advanced features, you'll need to look at Eglot or something like lsp-mode
To achieve this you will need a tiling window manager like Sway, Hyprland, or i3 and try to use as many CLI-based programs as possible for everything else. For browsers, there are projects like Nyxt (and some others I can't remember) that allow you to use vim or emacs like shortcuts to browse around.
However most GUI apps probably won't support an all-keyboard workflow so you will still need one. Depending on what software you use, however, you could make the vast majority of your regular computing mouse-free
Cool! You should add that in greater detail to your blog. Currently its lacking a lot of context, so your only post isn't very interesting as a result.
Thanks for sharing!
What's a "jump box?"
