St, Xterm, Terminator - depends on hardware and os.
I’m most comfortable when my window manager and terminal emulator are well integrated and keyboard centric.

Love that I can easily switch from phone to laptop when working with Fadein.
Linux makes a fantastic writing / research machine but helping folks make the transition to Linux can be difficult.
Everyone comes at it from a different angle and with a different intensity. Sometimes just letting them explore available options can be what they need. I’ve found that allowing the transition to be an open, running conversation, can be really helpful and much less stressful. There’s a lot to learn, even with Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc…
If you haven’t found them already, here’s a few personal favorite writing apps/systems (in no particular order) I’ve enjoyed using over the years.

No, you don’t know how to manage genZ (or any other cohort) because that’s not a fucking thing.
Start here:
Fight to pay them more. Period. This should be at the top of your daily to-do list. Your team is the reason you have a job, and they’re the reason your shareholders live such splendid lives. So, you want to keep your position(s) of benefit & security? Then never stop fighting for worker’s pay & benefit INCREASES. It is really hard to care about management, production (or shareholders 🙄) when you can’t take care of yourself or your family.
Curate a safe, work-focused environment that supports the life-cycle of a product that actually solves current, real-world problems like - global warming, profiteering, equality, etc.
Stop managing and learn how to lead.
Leaders:
Know how to say, “I don’t know.”
Show / do by example
Share knowledge
Support and foster knowledge sharing.
Shut their goddamn mouths and trust their teams to succeed (that’s why you hired them in the first place right?) and when the team/member falls short of PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON goals you work together to address the extenuating circumstance(s).
Every company’s greatest asset and product is the verve, innovation, and vision of its employees. Squash, or worse, fail to invest in any of these aspects of your workforce and the human beings you’re trying to “manage” will “manage” themselves into better working conditions elsewhere.
