Following up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as vterm (the best terminal emulator for Emacs).
I'm not too familiar with how Flatpak works but Emacs benefits from compiling it on your machine natively. Tell me what distro you're on and I can see if I can find out how you'd do that.
linux mint - can i use doom emacs btw. also thx
A Flatpak of Doom Emacs? No.
But you can just install the normal Emacs flatpak and then install Doom Emacs with 2 simple commands:
Emacs will read these config files from the .config/emacs directory.
Doom Emacs is not a different version of the program, it's essentially just a set of configuration files.
it's not working for me? sorry to ask but could you try it? linux mint lts btw
I don't have a Linux Mint installation right now, but when I used Mint a few months ago this worked for me. The two commands are from the official Doom Emacs install guide. Could you tell me exactly what doesn't work?
when i use those commands it assume emacs is installed as a system package and installs to a different location not accessible to the flatpak
is that one command? also is there any disadvantgaes to emacs as a flatpak
Yes, it's one single command. No, I haven't noticed any major downsides of Emacs as a Flatpak.
what does the command do and do i have to use it whenever i run emacs or? i'll try it when i get home but if it doesnt work is there any chance you have discord or revolt or matrix, etc.
I sent you my Matrix name via Lemmy DM
I’ve got nothing to do with this comment thread at all, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I really appreciate you going so far out of your way to help an internet stranger. Love to see it.
Thanks for the appreciation. I do my best to make Lemmy a place where people help each other when they can.
is there a flatpak of this?

Try
