I am learning emacs for memeing purpose but I leave the door

First of all, fuck evil mode. If you want that, just use/stick with vim. Second, you don't need anything other than the built-in tutorial. Finally, when you have a grasp on emacs, google MELPA and see if it's anything you'd be interested in.

Emacs is completely self-documented. Nuff said.

>>59231605
FSF have a giant documentation for you (free in every way).

The best learning materials you can get are books. Just search for emacs master. It takes some time to get used to the keybindings, but once you get the flow of it, you will type way faster. Don't forget M-x butterfly

You never, ever show this feature to newbies. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Emacs is love, Emacs is life, but I'll never give up my evil mode because of shit like this.

I don't use currently emacs, but my not so wild guess is, it works.

Emacs is a great Operating System with a mediocre text editor

Honestly just use Spacemacs

Emacs is better because it's so hackable. You can turn it into Vim if you want.

you already know vim and then you learn Emacs on top of that? what kind of special fucking idiot are you, they are the same thing. And BAD at it both.
Just use a regular editor you autistic sperg

*sigh*

What about all this emacs/vim debate? What makes them better than Windows Editor?

>>59232529
I went from vim to spacemacs and its all good

Well, consider it a hobby. I find /g/ memes enjoyable. Installing exotic source based linux distros, ricing from time to time, being autistic about details nobody notices on my Latex and R markdown automatic reports... That's what I do to kill time on weekends.

At least, I don't vidya and don't have to buy GPU more expensive than my rent, so I'm all good with myself.

I don't project, just thinking out loud.

The book Mastering Emacs.
The GNU elisp and emacs manuals are great for reference.
#emacs on freenode
C-h a to get documentation for any function or variable.

To begin with I would suggest only installing the packages which-key and helm. They make it much easier to discover the rest of the editor and provide functionality that doesn't need to be explicitly learnt. Which-key gives a popup that displays available keybindings and helm is a completing engine that lists and narrows relevant candidates at any prompt.
