What are the chances of getting this to compile on linux? I have no idea about how to deal with an Xcode project or have enough C++ knowledge to know if this can even be compiled on linux. CoreFoundation.h looks to be OSX? and on my quick glance that looks to be the main hurdle but that is as much as I can say.

I have looked at Doom, etc. but I'm definitely turned off by the level of complexity of these "distros", especially Doom, which is essentially more divergent from Emacs than Vim. Multi-thousand line config, it's own management cli, documentation, packages, etc...

Since I'm looking to "learn" Emacs I'd love to start with Vanilla and add in things as required as you would with any other editor. Starting with something like Doom makes it near impossible to untangle what is coming from where and trim down to exactly what you want, which is sort of the point of using Emacs in the first place.

maybe this helps:

"This is a minimal Emacs starter kit. Like, really minimal. Here's the short of the philosophy:

    Focus on using default, built-in Emacs behavior

    Yes, we all love our fancy third-party packages. This starter kit focuses on what is built-in to Emacs. Why? Because there are too many good packages and picking and choosing the best is a joy we leave to the user.

    Explain every customization and encourage modification

    The goal of this starter kit is to encourage end-user adaptation and growth. All of the .el files should be legible and, more importantly, justify in plain English the rationale for adding the configuration they do.

    No magic

    We keep things crushingly simple here. That means no fancy loadable modules or whatnot. Everything is as straight-forward as can be."

mstep commented on Gilles Deleuze – What is Philosophy? [audio]   philosophizethis.org/podc... · Posted by u/tomtomistaken

There's a quite influential electronic music label called Mille Plateaux [0], named after Deleuze's work. Label founder Achim Szepanski often quoted Deleuze in interviews and liner notes. I found that somewhat pretentious b/c I could hardly grasp any of that. Still, Mille Plateaux released quite a few absolutely timeless classics.

szepanski reactivated the label some years ago. new releases can be found on bandcamp [1]. from 2014 onwards he also wrote several books on financial capital and marx based on laruelle, deleuze and lately especially baudrillard [2]. last year he published a "new theory of financial capital" [3], that also got published in china [4].
