Hey, I started to get serious coding on vim just a couple of weeks before, and then I saw Doom Emacs and man, I can reuse almost all the shortcuts, but also I enjoy all the learning. Thanks bro. One question, how you get that icons in the Org mode? In my emacs it just show an '*' with other colors.
To enable the pretty icons in Org mode, 1. Go to your Doom Emacs init file (usually ~/.doom.d/init.el). 2. Under :lang, you'll see a bunch of entries for different languages Emacs supports. 3. If there is an 'org' entry, replace it with (org +pretty), including the parentheses. If not, add (org +pretty) as an entry. 4. Run 'doom sync' to sync your changes.
@@SirRichard94 and HTML, and OpenOffice, and numerous other formats to export Org mode to. And don't forget Org-babel, if you want to enter code into an Org document. You can even run the code and get the result into the document. You can also take a tabel, run it through a code, and generat a new table. I use it to handle my Emacs configuration, that is my ~/.emacs.d/init.el etc.
Hey Distrohuggers, My install of Fedora Rawhide is now using kernel "5.8.0-0.rc2.20200622git," or some iteration of 5.8-rc2. All in all, I have had great success living in Rawhide on hardware for a year now, and I really do not know diddly about Linux. Something weird is going on with DNF or the way Gnome is handling updates in 3.37. I have no idea yet, if it is just my install, or if something is being worked on, as I have not had the enthusiasm to follow the forums. What I think is so cool, is that if Rawhide is stable enough for somebody like me to use it, then any distros behind Fedora in development, will eventually gain from Rawhide's trials and errors, and so desktop distros are going to be even more stable in 2021. Meaning, I bet it will be a year before Linux Mint has some of the stuff my Rawhide install is currently using, and one could definitely say that for Debian Stable. The following packages are the git-versions used by Rawhide ( versus using the most recent stable versions ): plymouth, lockdev, runc, podman, conmon, numad, audit, and all the kernel packages, many many more. And for the other 500 plus packages, Rawhide uses the latest upstream versions of things like glibc, systemd, gnome. And like other developmental versions of a distro, all the clients like libreoffice, inkscape, are a week or two newer than what you would currently see in something like Tumbleweed. Fedora Rawhide will branch off in a few months and form what will become Fedora Version 33. That all being said, to the untrained eye, there is no discernible difference between Fedora Rawhide in June of 2020 than the current Fedora 32. However, nearly every package has had some bug fixed, or a few lines of code modified, and hopefully improved. At this stage, it might be safe to say there are a few regressions.

@@froge8121 you probably want to check out cfengine, salt, chef, etc if you want to do that. You can also do version control your files in /etc. But with the other tools, you can automat installation of packages and configure them, which is what you probably want.
Pro tip for archinstall, if you leave all the password fields blank in the JSON file, it will prompt you for them during the install. That way you can have your configuration in a public github repo without any security risks.
Thanks for video. I heard that in org mode you can make pretty complex projects, say under one heading some tables, under another heading some python code that could actually be run, then some latex and all it the same file. Is that so or I misunderstood somehow? If yes, can really code access data from the tables or it's too much?)
Yes, you have a calc minor mode, which let you make column calculations like Calc in LibreOffice. With Org-babel, you can add code in a Org-mode document, that you can executed and it can take a table as input, and add output into the document. It is already there. You can even run different codes of the same language in different environment. It is really nice. You can also extract the code to one or more files outside of Org-mode. So, look into Org-babel for the code stuff.
Huh, I can't use a whole bunch of the keybindings! Basically none of the stuff in "Structure Editing" works (e.g. "vae", "dae", "M-j", etc.). I have basically a vanilla Doom Emacs configuration, I've changed almost nothing - do you have any idea what could be causing this?
I can't use all the keybindings either, I think it may be because this is three years old? Odd for a program to remove keybindings in three years time though... Who knows.
