What's everybody's preferred writing equipment?
Hey everyone,
I'm curious to know what the denizens of Lemmy prefer when it comes to their writing setup. Are you team "old school" with pen and paper, or do you have a specific software, keyboard, or device that you can't live without?
For me, I've become quite fond of Obsidian. I'm flexible with any keyboard that feels good, but I prefer running a Fedora machine. I absolutely detest writing on mobile—even tablets give me the "ick," though I do have a frightening number of ideas sitting in my phone's notes app (also Obsidian).
What's your setup? Any gear you swear by?
I have a 13" Compaq CQ10-500 mini-laptop running Debian with a Lxde frontend at 1024x600 (zoomed out 85%), using Geany to write stream-of-consciousness, and Syncthing to synchronise to my desktop where I can do further edits.
I'd prefer to type from the start, but for whatever reason I have an easier time getting ideas out when I write on paper. So I have cheapass notebooks and pens.
