hi hii! i do use exclusively linux for the past many years and i am very much an (aspiring) writer!

in terms of what tools i use, libreoffice is just about the only one that's OS-dependent and i haven't even been really using it in quite a while - lately i mainly write my text on a website/cloud tool thing (simplenote; it's technically markdown but i barely need any markdown features past italicising), then manually format it to html and publish chapter-by-chapter (since i display my works on my website).

honestly having a better note-keeping program would be great but all options i've heard about up to now (obsidian etc.) are paid or paid-agacent, and besides i don't have too too much notekeeping to do anyway. what i really struggle with is version control (having to edit the same text in different places if i want to make an edit is for me absolutely crushing), so sometimes when edits are needed i just do them directly in the final website html since that i consider to be the primary version (since that's what faces the actual reader).
