There's a wiki page with links to plenty of resources: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SiteMap

I use xfce because it is stable, simple and lightweight. Perhaps I don't know what I'm missing but I'm very happy with it.

This month I release an updated version of my "Practice Python Projects" book: https://learnbyexample.github.io/practice_python_projects/

Next, I'm working on a TUI app (using Textual) for board games like Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four. These will also have a modified rule that requires forming a square instead of a line.

I'm continuing to update my already published ebooks. Apart from catching up to new software versions, it also helps to address typos and other issues found by my readers.

Last week I published a new version for my awk ebook (https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli-text-processing-awk-ann...) and today I'll start working on sed ebook.

A very different book, but I loved reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" [0] as well by the same author.

I think the dupe detection works only if there had been substantial discussion before, which none of the previous three had in this case.
