## Update on the Linux install on the Gemini PDA

Emacs 29 was buggy. Touching the screen on emacs 29
resulted in a core dump. I compiled and installed emacs
28 and it works great. I wanted Doom Emacs, so I also
had to download, compile, install git 2.5.

I wanted to customize DWM, however, the latest code
on [suckless.org][1] will not compile on my Debian 9
install. I fought it a while, then said fuck it and
cloned an older commit. I just wanted to change the
tags and colors anyway.

[FreeBasic][2] has no installation in the aarch64 repos
for Debian 9. It was hard to track down, but I finally
found an ARM binary for it that works on the Gemini.
I have posted it in the Projects section of RPoD. Since
I finally have fbc, I can use my own gopher client:
[Chæphron][3]. I added the ability to download text
files yesterday. I will be making modifications to this
client since I am able to compile the source again.
