is there a flatpak of this?
I'm not too familiar with how Flatpak works but Emacs benefits from compiling it on your machine natively. Tell me what distro you're on and I can see if I can find out how you'd do that.
linux mint - can i use doom emacs btw. also thx
it's not working for me? sorry to ask but could you try it? linux mint lts btw
when i use those commands it assume emacs is installed as a system package and installs to a different location not accessible to the flatpak
is that one command? also is there any disadvantgaes to emacs as a flatpak
what does the command do and do i have to use it whenever i run emacs or? i'll try it when i get home but if it doesnt work is there any chance you have discord or revolt or matrix, etc.
Iโve got nothing to do with this comment thread at all, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I really appreciate you going so far out of your way to help an internet stranger. Love to see it.
Following up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as
vterm(the best terminal emulator for Emacs).
