# 2025-01-02 - Planning to update spacemacs to latest. - As noted recently, usually something breaks in this process. - So I'll look at ways to do this with minimal disruption. - I think trying to do it using multiple config directories seems a good approach. - That'll be useful for if I ever want to run spacemacs and Doom side-by-side, too, for example, or my own vanilla Emacs. - One issue to resolve first - you need Emacs 29 for the –init-directory flag. I'm still on 28.1. - OK, I'll try and tackle that first. - [[Updating to Emacs 29 on Linux Mint]]
