How did you move to Norway? Afaik you can't just show up to stay permanently.

I disagree with this. I tried Doom when I first started using Emacs and yes, it gets you there faster, but it's extremely opinionated and essentially has it's own configuration language. I found that confusing when trying to learn how Emacs works, as there is "the Emacs" way, and then "the Doom" way.

Yes org-mode is an excellent alternative to markdown. Emacs offers a ton of features out of the box related to org-mode. However it is intrinsically tied with Emacs, so if you aren't sure about Emacs, then I wouldn't suggest using org-mode as a replacement just yet. I do encourage you to give it a shot though!

It was a good assumption. These days most games will work flawlessly in WINE/Proton, but the same can't be said for other Windows software, sadly.

The Affinity suite is notoriously difficult to get working properly in WINE and/or Proton

I currently run it in a Windows 10 VM using virt-manager and the virtio drivers from RedHat to enable OpenGL acceleration on a Windows guest. It is a decent experience. Would probably be much better if I passed a USB pointer directly into the VM instead of relying on virtualization.

Haven't tried it in WINE, and probably will never bother until the Affinity team take it seriously.

Hello! Welcome to Emacs!

Contrary to the other commenters, I would suggest starting with an out-of-the-box Emacs and only adding the things you need, as you need them.

As for your question, could you provide more detail about your expectations?

In the absence of it, I'll give you some generic responses:

• Shell-scripting: Emacs should support this out of the box
• Markdown: There is a popular package that provides a major mode markdown-mode: https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-mode
• HTML+CSS: There is a major mode html-mode that is included by out of the box: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/HTML-Mode.html
• For language support, the response will depend on your needs/expectations. If all you want is highlighting, it will probably work out of the box. For advanced features, you'll need to look at Eglot or something like lsp-mode

To achieve this you will need a tiling window manager like Sway, Hyprland, or i3 and try to use as many CLI-based programs as possible for everything else. For browsers, there are projects like Nyxt (and some others I can't remember) that allow you to use vim or emacs like shortcuts to browse around.

However most GUI apps probably won't support an all-keyboard workflow so you will still need one. Depending on what software you use, however, you could make the vast majority of your regular computing mouse-free

Can't speak to your other software, but battle.net and diablo 2 run great on Linux via WINE/Proton

"vast majority" lul

This goes so hard. I need it.

And everyone else's that uses Fedora?
