Arch Linux is the only version of Linux I can get to install on my laptop. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, RHEL, OpenSUSE all crash by the time they can even start the install process. Granted my laptop has a pretty terribly-supported iGPU but even generic Windows drivers handle it fine so I don't know why it's so hard for Linux. And I don't know if that's even the problem. Has anyone else ever had inexplicable problems with certain distros? I thought all Linux used the same kernel?

>Hey /g/ I didn't do my research and the only distro I can get to boot is the most difficult to use of all the mainstream distros, you believe me right? Also no hardware details so no one can attempt to reproduce the issue, because I don't know anything about troubleshooting tech. But I did succeed at installing the most difficult to use of all of the distros, but not Debian or Fedora. You believe me right?

idk, post what your roll sums are, and your choice. I think it's an inverse captcha, detect the bots because they seem oblivious to the annoyance, when they get through.

roll sums:

Stick right where you are. That is the safe space. Leaving it is doom.

If you use paredit with evil, you need this setting to make a lot of the movement commands work as intended.
(setq evil-move-beyond-eol t)

Although this deviates from the vim standard, I don't really notice or mind, and most importantly, it helps paredit work correctly under evil.
>>
>>107636358
I also recommend overriding some of the evil movement bindings with paredit movements while using paredit-mode.
  (evil-define-key '(normal visual) paredit-mode-map
;; paredit function overriden evil function
;; ---------------- -----------------------
")" #'paredit-forward ; evil-forward-sentence-begin
"(" #'paredit-backward ; evil-backward-sentence-begin
"]" #'paredit-forward-down ; evil-forward-section-begin
"[" #'paredit-backward-down ; evil-backward-section-begin
"}" #'paredit-forward-up ; evil-forward-paragraph
"{" #'paredit-backward-up ; evil-backward-paragraph
)

These are way more ergonomic than paredit's default bindings for these movements. I think meow users could probably do something similar if they wanted to use paredit.

Here's why you might want to use Emacs:

**Extreme customizability** - It's essentially a Lisp interpreter that happens to edit text, so you can modify literally everything about how it works. People joke it's an "operating system disguised as a text editor."

**Lifetime investment** - Once you learn it, those skills and your config follow you for decades. Emacs has been around since the 70s and isn't going anywhere.

**Do everything in one place** - Edit code, manage git, read email, browse files, write notes (org-mode is legendary), run terminals, debug code, all without leaving Emacs.

**The honest downsides**: steep learning curve, default keybindings feel archaic (Ctrl+x Ctrl+s to save?), and you'll spend time configuring it instead of just working.

**Real talk**: If you value efficiency and already know your editor well, switching might not be worth it. But if you love tinkering and want a tool that grows with you forever, Emacs is genuinely special.

Want me to elaborate on any specific aspect, like getting started or comparing it to Vim/VS Code?

In my experience, paredit's and lispy's clojure support is very buggy, while parinfer works most of the time.

The wife wants me to buy her some cleaning technology to make her job a little easier. She asked for a battery vacuum that can take batteries for a quick suck before she mops.

I already own some Makita tools and Milkwakee so I have a bunch of spare batteries she can mooch from. What stick vacuumn technology should I get her so she can clean our house?

I've had no real issue with Dyson aside from their batteries being junk and killing themselves, which is fixed by just using power tool batteries. The key thing to watch out for is that newer models switched to a higher voltage just to fuck over 18V batteries.

My V6 lasted probably 10 years before the brush bar motor burned out, the body still worked but it only cost me 100 bucks for a newer V8 with anti-tangle. It's a decent improvement, and basically everything after the V8 can't run on tool batteries.
