Emacs 26.1 on Debian 10 stable

I have previously used the Windows version of Emacs and now I'm back in Linux (thanks to it).

When pressing C-h i d there seemed to be a lot of more information in the Windows version.

Now I can only see Org-mode, and Emacs FAQ among other things I don't really need right now. The Window Version had the (full) Emacs documentation, Lisp documentation and a lot more.

Am I missing something? Or Looking in the wrong place?

  • The set of manuals available typically depends on your platform and Emacs build.

You need to consult your Linux distribution packages. eg in Debian many of the docs are bundled separately because of FSF policies.

See here for more details.

    Thank you! I was looking for a more intuitive package name, "non-dsfg" was not one of them.

  • Yeah, it's kind of crazy and non-indusive for beginners too.
