The build script for writerdeckOS v2.0 can be found here: https://github.com/tinkersec/writerdeckOS

While I am no longer supporting this project (I can't address bug issues or help with installation any longer), folks are welcome to use the code as is or fork it and run with the project.

If anyone wants to build out version 2.0 and create installation media for it, they are welcome to do so.

Cheers. It was fun working on this project and I deeply deeply deeply regret having to drop it. I just hit a wall with trying to get a better installation media and I don't have time to actively work on this project and keep up my other food projects.

I hope y'all have a great day.

Ok!

writerdeckOS has gotten a bit more attention recently because of some really cool deep dives on youtube.

ANNNNNNND I don't think I can maintain it any longer, lol!

I coded out the version 2.0 build script and it works, but I just couldnt get the install media to build out properly.

I hit a proper wall and realized that in order to troubleshoot it I would have to spend a lot more time that I don't have.

So. I'm dropping the project.

That said, I will upload the build script onto my git repo is anyone wants to fork it and continue the project.

I'll redirect the website to point to the build script.

It was fun! But I have to focus on my food projects.

Ok! Initial build script for writerdeckOS v2.0 is done.

I even coded a menu to allow for easy change of default word processor / text editor.

The Terminal Edition defaults to using wordgrinder, but the follow word processors and text editors are loaded into the system and its easy to swap over to them:

- WordGrinder
- Tilde
- Word Perfect
- Joe
- Emacs
- Vi / Vim
- Nano
- Micro

And it's easy to install and run a custom app (text editor or otherwise!).

Also, I added nmtui - a Terminal User Interface for Network Manager to connect to the internet if needed (eg to install a new app or to configure synced cloud folders).

I need to run a couple more QA tests for this and then I'll start putting together the installation media. After testing that on a couple of laptops, I'll push it out officially!

Working on the next version of writerdeckOS (finally!) which replaces the default word processor of Tilde with Wordgrinder.

That said, in case someone wants to use a different word processor, I'm prepackaging it with several command line word processors and text editors such as tilde, wordgrinder, vi, vim, nano, emacs, joe, and....

Word Perfect!!!

Hahaha! Tavis Ormandy released a ported version of Word Perfect for Linux a handful of years ago.

So here's me running Word Perfect in Linux!

I guess you've arrived in the Linux Distro world when someone posts a heckling thread about your distro in Hacker News.

Jeese, ya'll, if you don't like it, don't use it.

Over here minding my own business and sharing with five other people who enjoy it 😂 😭
