Yes, emacs is a fine operation system. All it lacks is a decent code editor.

It has Evil if that's your thing :)

I dislike that it takes way too long to boot, but IMO the defaults are just fine.

Use the Daemon, it starts a new client in a fraction of a second
Improve your config and it'll start in under a second anyways

TBF, I don't even remember why I stopped using the daemon. But it's currently 3 seconds, so I dislike it... but not so much that I'd prioritize solving the problem versus complaining about it on the internet...

Anyway, I'm adding the server into my DE's startup. Thanks for the reminder.
