I’m seriously considering buying an M2 MacBook, after over 20 years on Linux. My main concern is whether it will be difficult to set up Emacs after such a long-term investment in my init files. I would love to hear from others who have made the same transition – was it hard? Do you have tips to make it easier?

Thanks in advance!

    My work dev machine is an M2 Pro. I didn’t find it at all hard to set up. If you don’t know already homebrew is a macos package manager and you can use it to install emacs with a bunch of feature flags without having to compile it yourself. The only problem i’ve run into is that I can’t start emacs from the spotlight menu but that’s fine since I start it from a terminal. Here’s the package I use: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus
