@foss there was a Linux distro for writers but it appears to be dead. Anyone have links to similar distros for non technical writers? Read about the mentioned distro at [h (tweesecake.social)

I was wondering how it saved files if it’s livecd only:

“At the moment, GhostWriter can save files only to a diskette. It can’t write them to to a hard drive or a USB drive. Admittedly, saving files to a floppy is easy. The desktop menu includes commands to mount and unmount a diskette drive. But many newer computers don’t come with floppy disk drives.”

This project seems like something someone made for themselves just to fuck around. I don’t know why anyone else would need this.
