I will never fall for one of your memes again.

Time to upgrade your Pentium 4, mang.

run it in server mode

>blaming hardware for your bloated software design

Every Emacs user starts out like this. You'll soon see the light too.

you probably installed a bloated config file with stuff that you don't even use

>defending Pentium 4

The thing is that you should just run it once a day!
Run it as a server or, even, as your window manager (like a lot of us do).

Interested in trying it out as a vimbaby, how to get started?

You just have a shit computer OP

Use emacs in evil mode

Why is vanilla emacs install comparable in size to vscode - an electron app?

Server mode doesn't make much of a startup difference if have semi modern system. If OP has anything better than a Core 2 duo, it shouldn't even take more than a few milliseconds to run. Either he has a shitty old system, or he is loading the files off a slow ass HDD.

Because it includes a fucking web browser among other shit.

Fresh install of Emacs, yeah. But heavily extended Emacs can take some time

What's wrong with that my dude?

My point is that it is exactly more than that, my dude.
It's a lisp interpreter (with all its implications)

dumb frogposter

have sex

emacs -nw

My point was exactly that. I run Emacs as my window manager (I guess you do too).

>apt install emacs
>try to uninstall
>turns out it was a metapackage and update-alternatives have been update-alternatived and dependencies are now depended on.

no, I use stumpwm
I just never close emacs unless I royally screwed something up

Emacs was released in 1976. It should have absolutely no problem running on a pentium 4.

try running it on something that isn't a 20 year old thinkpad

>not using vim
user why would you run an operating system on top of your existing operating system just to edit text?

Wrong.

It is a 10 year old ThinkPad.

show us printscreen , wanna see how it tooks like.

this

you only open Emacs once, user

is it good as WM? I use i3 but I am beginning to like Emacs.

This is what autism looks like.

bullshit
emacs is a great OS

That's impressive. What kind of toaster are you using? It takes less than 2 seconds to load my heavy personal config plus starting server mode.

$ time emacs -nw --eval "(kill-emacs)"
