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 ?

First two weeks might be difficult. But you'll stop caring about vi bindings quickly once you have your bindings. It's like learning how to drive instead of riding a bicycle.
