- writerdeckOS converts laptops and Chromebooks with 64-bit Intel/AMD processors into distraction-free writing devices.
- The OS is lightweight, based on Debian Linux, and boots directly into the Tilde text editor.
- Installation requires creating a bootable USB, booting from it, and following automatic installation steps.
- Default login credentials are username 'author' and password 'password'.
- Tilde editor features include customizable color schemes (light/dark mode), word wrap, and basic file navigation.
- Basic commands: Save (Ctrl+S), Quit (Ctrl+Q), and shutdown via command line or power button.
- USBs are accessible in the 'USBs' folder; file system navigation uses Bash commands.
- Advanced options include changing keyboard layout, installing other text editors, and connecting to the internet via nmcli.
- Full disk encryption is possible by installing a headless Debian 12.10 with LUKS.
- Support is available via Fediverse, Reddit, and GitHub issue tracker.
