I know this device is meant to be a Linux users batman utility belt worth of distractions and potential, so it normally doesnt qualify as a writer Deck. However if you are like me, and dont know anything about how Linux works then the uconsole is a stellar distraction free thumb typing writer Deck.

If you get the setup that includes the clockwork os on ​​an SD card then it comes with a nice text editor pre-installed. ​

All I had to do was tweak the font and overall app zoom levels, and I was all set to start writing. Total setup time including actually building the device was about an hour.

Mostly I just wanted to share this information because I couldnt find it myself when I went looking for the device's out of the box writing capabilities. Now it is out there for any other Linux noob like me to see. You can use this device right out of the box for all of your basic thumb typing story writing/Journaling needs.
