Writing SF on Ubuntu

I’m not sure how many writers create Science Fiction on Linux, but I’ll wager that not to many of us do. Off hand, I only know of Cory Doctorow and myself. If you are a published SF author and create exclusively on Linux, leave a comment on this post.

I use Ubuntu on my HP Mini. My primary application for writing is Libre Office.

I’ve been really happy with Ubuntu on the Mini. I never experience hangs or program crashes and everything just works. I don’t mess with the OS and it doesn’t mess with me.

I save my work into a Dropbox folder and when I go online, it gets synced up to the internet.

This arrangement allows me to have a local copy and a cloud copy of my latest WIP. You don’t have to be a computer nerd to use Linux anymore and I really think more writers would be happy using it.
