I’ve had a few ProArt monitors and they aren’t very high quality, IME. I had high-pitched whine and blinking off/on issues, on several Mac models, from iMac to Air to Studio. Yes, I tried a variety of cables. The Apple Studio monitor, while insanely priced, has been flawless for me, sitting next to a ProArt.
I've often gone into an expensive display purchase with hesitation but then never regret it as, years later, when machines have moved in and out of my workspace, the display is still there.
And something I forgot to mention, the color response of the ProArt is very odd and off. I didn't realize it when I had 2 ProArts, but when it was sitting next to the Studio display, it was obvious.
I suspect the ProArt can be calibrated, but when I do photo editing, I just use the Studio.
You didn't say which platform you're on. For Linux, just use the emacs that comes with the distro. For Windows, download the official build for Windows. For macOS, I used to use emacsformacosx.com's version but now I use Homebrew's emacs-plus. It has a native-compiled version and is hella fast.
I use the regular package manager for emacs (package-install).
Been a user since the first version of GNU Emacs, back when RMS was trying to reproduce Gosling's emacs (which I used for a couple of years). That was the early 80's.
I too was a Windows power user. Never thought I could use macOS. It was painful to start, but ultimately it was far better than what I had on Windows. You just have to put in the work. I did this conversion after I was 50.
For now. I'm not being snarky or hyperbolic. Today's Daily pod is related. I'm half way through and no mention of voting yet, but it takes no imagination to see where this is going. Remember the whole "Obama wasn't a citizen" thing? Remember the "illegal aliens elected Joe Biden?" The best way to disenfranchise a segment of the population is to give them difficulty proving they are citizens, so they cannot vote.
The creation of stateless people during WW2, those without passports or birth certificates or citizenship, was a clear path towards the Holocaust. And the same tactic is used to this day to perpetrate genocide around the world.
Mass deportations, elimination of legal status, all these things tend towards one very very scary direction throughout history. And you know what they say about people who do not know the history...
(Just going to ignore the DEI comment because I don't know how that relates to anything here...)
Im running Zoneminder for cameras, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf and lightmusicserver for media, keepass + webdav for a pw manager, file browser for fast file sharing. Takes a week to setup from scratch but from there on it's like 10min of maintenance a week.
