Why not? Do Emacs users usually use other OS than Linux?
- sshine 8y agoYes, Emacs!
- nextlevelwizard 8y agoPlease provide me with bootable emacs
- sshine 8y agoThis is probably the closest someone has come: https://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.html https://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux...
- kqr 8y agoThey prefer other community technologies than reddit.
- meitham 8y agoThe fact that the subreddit is called r/linux instead of r/gnulinux is a major turnoff to emacs users.
- robdachshund 8y agoLol maybe if stallman actually made linux anyone would care. He's an insane man claiming a bunch of dev tools constitute an OS. Still hasn't made his own kernel because he can't. Linux is linux. Not gnu linux. Bite me.
- nextlevelwizard 8y agoIf your nose is so far up RMS ass then maybe that is actually representive of user bases and completely fine
- dang 8y agoPlease don't do this here.
- steve1977 8y agoI mainly use macOS for example. At least on the systems where I use Emacs. I use Linux for servers, but I rarely do much editing directly on those systems.
- tmalsburg2 8y ago/r/Linux is biased to sysadmin types but there are other communities where Emacs is more popular, for instance in some academic fields (where Mac OS tends to be more common).
- krylon 8y agoAt work, I use Windows, and I use emacs all the time; it's among the first programs I start after logging in. On top of everything else, it has a builtin "shell" that is a reasonable approximation to a Unix shell. (At home, I use GNU/Linux, though.)
- erikbye 8y agoOf course. Even a few game devs use Emacs on Windows. Jonathan Blow and Casey Muratori (he recently switched to something else I think, not sure if he's back to Emacs) being two prominent ones. I use Emacs whether I'm on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS or Windows.
