now that i inadvertently formatted the main system because of a combination of a weird driver crash, sickness and inattention, i decided to move to #Emacs 29, using the ubuntu-elisp ppa instead of the venerable kelleyk (will move back whenever they release 29)
i get a “pure-gtk” warning, about crashes that might occur during transfer of large selection data. but i have no choice now. i want the new hotness. So in for a penny, in for a pound.
(I did check the system-configuration-options and the package seems to be compiled with both x --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 and wayland --with-pgtk=yes support. so let’s see how stable it is)
also decided to rewrite my init file and the way I install packages. (learning use-package finally.
Looks like a good way to noodle around while recovering from this dastardly viral.
Let’s see how it goes.
