So after my struggles getting this setup going I’m really enjoying this setup.

Thought I’d post here as there is quite a bit of intersectionality between the emacs, Arch, Steamdeck, Nix and Mechboards communities.

Spec as follows:

  1. Steamdeck (LCD);
  2. SteamOS 3.5 Preview (Arch based and compatible with Nix packages);
  3. Emacs 29 (via Nix package);
  4. DooM config + some tweaks of my own; and
  5. Corne Light v2 with random DSA caps.

Ambitions for this setup are:

  1. Better emacs-fu (thanks to everyone here with their help so far);
  2. RGB underglow on the keyboard for 90s vibes;
  3. Printed keycaps in jazzy colours;
  4. Better keymap (maybe Miryoku or something with homerow mods)

    My word. That’s one hell of a cargo-cult maker mindset gone insane. And if you plan on using that for work, oh well. You don’t want “roast”, you want confirmation in the sense of suggestions for improvement.

      100% cargo cult / “I use Arch linux” mindset

      I’m an office worker who is way more productive in Office365 than emacs. And for that purpose OneNote poops all over org.

      That said, for home-life orgaisation and project tracking, org works pretty well for me.

      Setup suggestions are totally welcome, I do run emacs on all my devices.

        I’d be super interested to hear why you’re more productive in onenote given you presumably have experience with both org and one note.
