Comment on Using e-ink tablet as monitor for Linux

Comments

So it is vim on the eink screen, mostly?

When writing a lot of LaTeX I wished I had an eink monitor. LaTeX already takes a moment to compile. I’d probably want vim on a conventional monitor.

It's text on the E-ink screen mostly, be it in the browser, a plain text file, Logseq, Obsidian etc. But sometimes simple writing can be done too. I wouldn't suggest writing code because of the high latency.

Most of my work is reading rather than writing so when I want to read something I use the E-ink screen.
