What kind of writing are you talking about here? If it's something where I don't intend to insert a lot of text and move things around or do other large, structural edits, like journaling, I use a nice fountain pen (e.g. Pilot Vanishing Point) on good Clairefontaine paper. This is also how I write first drafts of poems. Occasionally I'll do some light edits to the original before transferring to something electronic for more serious edits.
Other stuff, like TTRPG adventure building / worldbuilding, I write first drafts on my reMarkable 2. It's an exceptionally hackable (offers root access out of the box!) e-ink tablet running ARM Linux. Once I'm happy with what I've written on the reMarkable, I transfer it to plain text documents written with neovim. I use a couple of plugins for this, specifically vimoutliner and vimwiki. Additionally, these documents live under git version control. I tried more powerful tools like Campfire Blaze and WorldAnvil, but they're just too much tooling for me.
