I've been on spacemacs.org for a while, but since I've got a Keychron G6 Pro where I can reprogram the caps lock, I'm going to try out some hard-core init.el stylings.

Suggestions welcome.

I also started on spacemacs but then I wanted to learn the basics of it and switched to writing my own configuration from scratch. What helped me the most is reading though the Mastering Emacs book by Mickey Petersen which is an amazing resource to learn the basics and beyond. Right now I'm in the process of reducing the number of external packages I use and I'm trying to use more of the built in functionality that is available "out of the box".

Nice.

I'm going to go through https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs as well as https://www.masteringemacs.org/

Assuming you're on GNU/Linux:

  (setq read-process-output-max
        (with-temp-buffer
          (insert-file-contents "/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size")
          (string-to-number (buffer-string))))
