I also use IA Writer on my Mac. The best replacement for it on Linux Desktop is Ghost Writer [0]. It should be available in your favorite package manager already.

It supports Pandoc and can export in a ton of formats.

You're welcome. Linux and Mac can cooperate very nicely. I use Linux desktops and MacBooks in tandem for years now and I'm a happy camper.

Welcome to Linux.
