Hello there .
I am using as my OS devuan gnu+linux .
The point is I like philosophy of Unix using like tmux + nvim + mutt .
and I love the vi keybings so much ..

Sometimes I am thinking to switch to gnu emacs .. but I feel that I will find some difficulties
and I am afraid .

Is there a easy way to use emacs ?
can someone help or give me some YT videos to watch to have a good idea about emacs ?

I hesitate to be the curmudgeon here, but if you can't--or won't--bother to visit youtube.com and type "emacs" into the search box, then you probably won't enjoy using Emacs. Emacs is most appreciated by people who take a bit of initiative.

Is this why people type "emacs" and click search? I still find it odd, like, I wish search results on "emacs" would show something other than "how to get started". But maybe it's a good thing.
