## Gemian took a shit
I do not know exactly what happened, but on the way home
the other day, I *sudo apt upgrade*'d and watched as
scores of shit got uninstalled. I could have stopped it
but didn't bother. As I suspected, the Gemini PDA would
not boot after this.
## Redo
So, when I got home I reflashed the Gemini PDA with
Gemian only (no android) from the directory I had saved
when I did it originally. This time, I knew what did and
did not work from apt.
I once again installed Gnu Guix as my package manager.
This would give me Emacs 28, current CA Certificates,
and a slew of other non-outdated software. I have a
256GB µSD card mounted from /etc/fstab symlinked into
/home as my user directory. Therefore, I lost nothing
personal. Most things were also living in dropbox
and/or gitlab.
I have completed the redo as of today. I installed
stumpwm, and while I have keybindings to a terminal
emulator (I like the mate-terminal, to each their own)
I have been using vterm as my primary terminal.
## Emacs Experiment
The *living in Emacs* experiment has been a resounding
success so far. One clipboard for everything, an
excuse to learn lispy things, and no need to open
anything else (except the occasional web browser for
heavy sites). I am likely to remain in this environment.
