Is this for Linux or Windows? #22

Hi, Is EWS for Linux or Windows? I mean: if I clone your repo on Windows/Linux, will it work? Could you add more details to your README file explaining this question? The reason I am asking this is that I'd like to teach Emacs for Windows users... But, Emacs is not a very integrated environment on a Windows box :(

I have a suggestion to this article: https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/getting-started-with-emacs/

  1. Refer to Viper-mode as a native Emacs built-in function for Vimers (in case one does not want to install the Evil-mode beast)

  2. Try youself to use Stumpwm WM, instead of I3WM (Some years ago I was a i3wm and xmonad user, but for years I have been using Stumpwm because it was written for Emacs users)

  3. see here:

Thx a lot.

Hi @OrionRandD ,

Being Emacs, the configuration is independent of the operating system. I have added some clarifications to the Getting Started and Readme pages.

The main difference between Linux / MacOs or Windows are the supporting applications. If you have experience with Windows, then perhaps you can help get this page accurate: https://lucidmanager.org/productivity/emacs-windows/

Thanks for the StumpWM tip. I am fine with i3wm - my issues with it are less then the effort to migrate to a new one.
