When home (most of the time) I write on my desktop (2008 Dell Optiplex 755) — when traveling (about once a year) I use a laptop (usually my old one, a 2003 Dell Latitude D400). Both computers run the same version of Linux Mint (17.1 Mate). I enter text in the JOE text editor (Jstar variant because it works like WordStar for DOS). I've got a Neo Alphasmart (I like it, but it never seems convenient), a Bluetooth Keyboard for my Fire and and app for writing (Jotter Pad) and SimpleNote on all my computers and devices (where I paste what I write from Jotter Pad in the Fire, so it's available everywhere). Both the Neo and Fire are nice setups for writing, but I hardly ever use them. I guess I just don't travel enough to make it worth the trouble.
The text files get moved into LibreOffice Write or screenplay writing software (Trelby or KIT Scenarist) where they're formatted (when and if formatting is necessary — rarely anymore).
