From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Preferred Creative Writing Applications (lemm.ee)

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has a preferred software for the purpose of creative writing.

Libre Office Writer is great of course, but just as software like LogSeq or Obsidian exist for the note taking process, I was wondering if there is anything that is specifically geared toward the creative writing process.

I know that there are federated blog platforms which focus on this in their presentation, but was curious about applications specifically.

FOSS is definitely preferable.

Thanks!

Celtx used to be a great Foss desktop screenwriting application, based on Firefox. Eventually they tried to go web based, and I had to move over to the closed sourced, industry standard, final draft when my work started getting produced.

Now there are a thousand open source screenwriting tools, and not one that I like.
