# Emacs as my portable user space across operating platforms
Mohammed Ismail Ansari - <https://myterminal.me>, <mailto:mail@myterminal.me>
[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/portable-before)" raw="yes"]]
In the talk, I plan to cover my entry
into the world of Emacs, a high-level series of events that shaped my
experience and learning, and a few takeaways from someone coming from an
entire different toolset and mentality, eventually having a moment of
enlightenment to never go back again. The talk will revolve around how
it has been my companion across multiple operating platforms and will
remain to be one of the core elements of my computing toolset no matter
the environment or platform. I'll talk about a few highs and lows of my
attempts of inviting friends to Emacs, a few mentions of my
contributions to the community and hopefully some tips for inspiration
to newcomers and fellow Emacs-ers alike. Along with these, I'll also
walk through how and why I created super-emacs and why I think it can be
a reasonably easy starting point for someone getting into Emacs as their
daily driver.
About the speaker: I, Mohammed Ismail Ansari (aka myTerminal), come
from an academic background in Electronics Engineering, and have been
working professionally as a software engineer since seventeen years.
I love to create and experimenting with all kinds of machines, not
just computers, enjoying the exploration and tinkering process.
In the recent years I've also discovered my interest in personal
productivity, and pairing them with some of the core elements within
my toolset, including Linux, Emacs, and many other open-source
software everything fits in place as if it was supposed to be.
