You can use Emacs with a mouse just fine out of the box if you want.

Far from as good and complete, and will never be as good and complete given the limitations of scripting vim. Vim aficionados (like me) can use evil-mode in Emacs, to gain access to org-mode and keep the use of their existing editing knowle

You'll have to put more substance into the question than that if you want any meaningful answers.

What? These are not "old prejudices", Windows is still proprietary software and that's still harmful to user freedom. This is not just "one more channel for learning", it's a dying proprietary platform trying t

What is wrong with where QEMU is headed?

Most distros already do this. Most distros already try to "Just Work". A better approach, I think, is to ship (with the distro, autodetected at install time) tweaks for for specific hardware, and to explicitly target developers in

In the escape to Linux, I encourage looking at Fedora. Fedora 21 marked the start of an effort to create a developer-focused "Fedora Workstation" version of Fedora (alongside Fedora Server and Fedora Cloud products). I've bee

So? Who cares about Windows conventions? You're using Cygwin to escape Windows.

Uh, Emacs has asynchronous IO, and it works fine. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Asy...

Use a package manager. Package your software, and build the container filesystem with debootstrap and/or local packages.

Put simply: No, and there probably never will be. I was in the same situation, and eventually I just switched to Emacs. The switch is pretty easy with evil-mode, and spacemacs might make it even easier.

How exactly is a CLI wrapper supposed to work without some kind of IPC? Most components of the system have an associated daemon running and maintaining them. You need some kind of way to communicate to that daemon. DBUS is the most common

So what exactly is the advantage of using this layer over the existing libvirt ecosystem? If this is supposed to manage your VMs for you instead of you using the existing libvirt tools, I can see a number of disadvantages. * No virt-manager

It coexists pretty near perfectly, since vim and emacs keybindings are usually non-overlapping.

If you're interested in a more open system that can be used as a VPN, I recommend cjdns: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns It was a breeze to set up. I've been using it as a VPN to connect all my boxes and

So, what you're ultimately complaining about is the lack of a standard API for creating window managers and the like - the X11 protocol includes this, the Wayland protocol does not. But this doesn't stop you from using the API pro
