* Antcs - An Emacs OS
|
|
|
|
This grew out of my interest in experiencing the old lisp machines, in which you
|
|
could modify your OS on the fly.
|
|
|
|
I intend this configuration to be portable in the sense that all you should need
|
|
is an emacs installation and this set of configuration files and it should
|
|
bootstrap itself to a working state in any machine emacs is supported (and X,
|
|
for EXWM).
|
|
|
|
This idea is made possible by a set of incredibly awesome emacs packages
|
|
developed by several people, but the absolute killer-ones that pushed me in this
|
|
direction are EXWM and Straight.el
|
|
|
|
** On how to start X
|
|
If you do not use a login manager, simply put "exec emacs" in your .xinitrc.

For more detailed instructions see EXWM's wiki.

If you use a login manager do: ...

** A note on emacs versions
|
|
|
|
I always try to use the latest development emacs version, so these

|
|
for any reasonably new emacs version (25+).
|
|
** Name
|
|
|
|
Antcs, from Ant Emacs.
|
|
|
|
Ants are hard working eusocial creatures with hive mentality, meaning they care
|
|
equally for all members of their community and strive together for a common
|
|
goal. You will hardly find a more hard working editor than Emacs, and with an
|
|
amazing, free, community to boost!
|
|
|
|
Ants are also highly adaptable, with incredible abilities to modify habitats,
|
|
exploit resources, and defend themselves. I think Emacs' history speaks for
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
Finally, it sounds like Antics, which some people might think running such a
|
|
system is.
