bekantan··on Ask HN: Resources to grok Emacs and use it well?
If you are comfortable with vi (like I am), you will definitely like Doom Emacs. I started using it recently for org(-roam) and I really like the experience.

I installed Emacs from brew and apt (on two machines) and just ran doom installation script which you can find in Doom's GitHub repo.
