Sweet! It’s actually my main language. C mode is built-in so no concern on that side.

Some general advice:

• I leaned it way too late, but you can use M-x compile and then type your build command (make clean && make all) instead of using a terminal to compile your project.
• Try to learn a bit about Makefiles, it’s useful. Avoid cmake like plague.
• C is great for embedded, so you should look up TRAMP if that’s your use case; it basically removes the need for SSH-ing from a shell.

To have Emacs behave like an IDE:

• Install clang17 clang17-extra-tools bear on the host system.
• Configure eglot and company in your Emacs config:

(use-package eglot)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)
(with-eval-after-load 'eglot
  (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs
               '((c-mode c++-mode)
                 . ("clangd"))))

(use-package company)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)

• Use the bear tool (ex. bear --config bear_config.json -- make all) to make the non-trivial project understandable by Emacs. Since it re-uses your Makefile, it even works for cross-compilation!

Good luck!

Interesting for sure, but I would not recommend going for most of these packages unless you are already very familiar with Emacs.

Here are the steps I would recommend if you find motivation to learn the editor:

1. Install it, learn the basic use and navigation
2. Focus on learning and configuring it for your main use-case (writing code in a specific language, taking notes, writing papers, playing Tetris, etc.). This might take a while.
3. Question life, re-try VSCode and get instantly grossed out.
4. ???
5. Try weird packages, moving most of you digital life inside Emacs.

Enjoy =)

ofc if you don’t want to edit code with Emacs, you can always run Vim in eshell in Emacs ! =P

or even (god forbid) running VSCode in Emacs in exwm mode

Damn that’s a good looking mini rack! Great job!

I don’t have much experience or advice about Proxmox, just wanted to show appreciation ✌️
