Doom Emacs And EXWM Are My New Window Manager DistroTube A few months ago, I took a brief look at EXWM which is an Emacs plugin that allows you to use Emacs as your window manager. And while I was impressed at how well EXWM can work as a window manager, I never really tried to live in it. But I think I'm ready to give it a shot! - https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs - Doom Emacs - https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - EXWM - https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.doom.d/config.org - DT's config

Well this is neat!
It is cool and all but the only thing I came away with this video with is 'Mod + left mouse button to move floating windows!
I keep forgetting this in Spectrwm... Lol
Old with White/Gray Hair ya know. I also suffer from CRS real bad (Can't Remember Shi-)...
Thanks for the video!

Hey DT. Thanks for the video. It strangely helped me install a needed plug in. I'm still not understanding the emacs eco system and a dedicated video would be nice. From what i gather, the way plugins are installed slightly changes based on if you're using doom emacs or gnu emacs?

I used EXWM for a while but I switched out of it because sadly Emacs is not yet multithread so if it froze everything froze. It was awesome to be able to use my emacs keybinding everywhere. When Emacs will be multithread if ever I'll switch back to EXWM.

Nooooo DT, why did you do this to me. I dont have enough time to sink into this but it does look great. I may try it during Christmas holidays when I wont have so many Uni projects. For now I just sink all my time into configuring Emacs.
Ahhhhh -

Just noticed you removed exwm from your doom-emacs configs...trying to find it in the commits..kinda hard...if you still have it, it would be nice if you could share! I'm really interested in testing emacs as a window manager.

I'm thinking about using emacs for daily use with its built-in terminal and some of its other built-in stuff. It even has a Window Manager, which is amazing. I might fire up a VM and setup EXWM and try it out :D

I switched to XMonad after watching your XMonad videos...
And now I switched to Emacs and EXWM after watching this video.
What's next? Rewriting my scripts and utilities in Elisp? :D

DT, I'm gonna have to send you to rehab, man. You need help. Remember the good old days, when you stuck with vim? You're spinning out of control on this emacs stuff.

Hey DT you made a huge mistake! Use edwina.el to get dwm-style dynamic tiling right inside emacs. Great to use in tandem with EXWM. Maybe make a video about it!!

org-bullets is quite outdated and has a lot of drawbacks when multiple undo occurs, there's org-superstar-mode that is far superior
