I have an attention problem.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to convert my old laptop into a writerdeck, a dedicated writing device free from the distractions of the modern internet.

Lots of folks build really elaborate offline devices for this, and I’d love to do that… someday. Right now I have no shortage of projects and the point is to get writing, so I used what I had: a six-year-old laptop which still runs great, has plenty of power, but isn’t getting much use anymore.

Crucially, this laptop has an excellent keyboard, and a matte screen, which makes it awesome to type on for long stretches, and functional enough in the daylight (I like to sit outside with my dog and write). It’s also a System76 Galago Pro (not sponsored), which means it’s already Linux friendly and has great support in the kernel.

You can switch to the alternate screen using this command:

$ tput smcup

And back with:

$ tput rmcup

Vi flips to the alternate screen buffer, supported by terminals. This is achieved using escape sequences.

I’m still on the lookout for a good way to track memory usage. Maybe this will help!
