Emacs is my new window manager
Dont. Emacs is there to be tinkered with, and your cat will break it by simply looking at your keyboard.<p>I love Emacs. I develop for it, financially support it, live it everyday. The last thing you want is to be stuck debugging your failed desktop session on Tuesday morning at the airport as your wife waits for you to find the tickets.<p>If you love Lisp, give StumpWM a try. Simplicity, DWM. Simplicity with modularity? AwesomeWM just works.<p>Keep your Emacs config away from your system  packages. The latter should prop up the former, not vice versa
