Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key

I tried this setup for a bit. I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.
For undisturbed writing, I use a laptop running a minimal cli only linux install with Word Grinder. Its a modern text mode writer app that stores files in text or markdown.

I wouldn’t do it myself, but if that floats your boat:

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.
Word Grinder hits all the marks.
