St, Xterm, Terminator - depends on hardware and os.

I’m most comfortable when my window manager and terminal emulator are well integrated and keyboard centric.

Love that I can easily switch from phone to laptop when working with Fadein.

Linux makes a fantastic writing / research machine but helping folks make the transition to Linux can be difficult.

Everyone comes at it from a different angle and with a different intensity. Sometimes just letting them explore available options can be what they need. I’ve found that allowing the transition to be an open, running conversation, can be really helpful and much less stressful. There’s a lot to learn, even with Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc…

If you haven’t found them already, here’s a few personal favorite writing apps/systems (in no particular order) I’ve enjoyed using over the years.

Fadein https://www.fadeinpro.com/

Focus writer https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/

Wordgrinder http://cowlark.com/wordgrinder/index.html

That’s awesome! Really encouraging seeing projects and devs migrate away from closed-source and proprietary systems and features. 💪

Cool tool! Please consider leaving GitHub for any of the numerous FOSS options.

OP isn’t ignorant because they’re white, they’re ignorant because of the impact of their social economic class on their education, life experience, and world view.

Your comment opening with:

“Leave it to a white person to…” Is blatant racism.

No. ReadMe files should be concise, explicit, and text only. UI/UX screenshots can be part of the repo, wiki, or associated website but they shouldn’t be in the ReadMe.

If you don’t understand the software you’re installing from some rando stranger’s git repo then you shouldn’t install it. Period. Take the opportunity to learn more or use another tool.

Git repos are not app stores. The devs don’t owe you anything.

The vast majority of software in publicly accessible git repos are personal projects, hobbies, and one-off experiments.

Your relationship with the software and the devs that create and maintain it is your responsibility. Try talking to the devs, ask them questions, attempt to understand why they constructed their project in whatever specific way they have. You might make some new friends, or learn something really interesting. And if you encounter rudeness, hostility, or incompetence you’re free to move on, such is the nature of our ever-evolving open-source community.

We bring a lot of preconceived notions into the open-source / foss / software development space as we embark on our own journey of personal development. I try to always remember it’s the journey of discovery and the relationships we curate along the way that is the real prize.

Dune 2 … such a great game! I was just playing a bit of OpenRA last night. Great to see your comments this morning!
