A Flatpak of Doom Emacs? No. But you can just install the normal Emacs flatpak and then install Doom Emacs with 2 simple commands:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs
~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install
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
Try
PATH="/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/:$PATH" ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install
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
Iโve 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.
