- The author created a writerdeck from an old laptop to focus on writing without distractions.
- They installed Debian without a desktop, using only a TTY (console) to break desktop muscle memory.
- Key software includes network-manager for Wi-Fi, neovim for editing, kmscon for scalable console, and tmux for tiling.
- Customizations added battery status, brightness controls via F8/F9 keys, and a tmux status bar at the top.
- Vimwiki was set up for note-taking, and Syncthing syncs files with a server.
- Automatic login and auto-launching tmux with vimwiki were configured for quick startup.
- The writerdeck has helped the author write more intentionally and avoid digital distractions.
