I like the idea of the setup and the philosophy behind it but I don’t like the implementation as much.

If I’m spending a lot of time with text I’d really like the text and editor to have a much better aesthetic appearance than what I’m seeing here.

I also think having something with graphical capability is nice to have but I know that’s a preference thing. For me, a mouse is a valuable tool in a text editor even if that usage is occasional.

I also think there is a lot of manual setup of things like keyboard brightness controls and battery status that are already built in to every mainstream Linux distro imaginable.

I would have gone about it in some other way like:

1. Install Fedora/Linux Mint/whatever

2. Make a login script that opens Obsidian or an editor of choice upon login and puts it in full screen mode.

3. Hide the KDE taskbar and/or just choose a highly minimal window manager.

4. Done.
