suggests there's a way to hook it up to a rasp pi, and that there may already be a demo project in the arduino library for typerwriter functionality. i'd recommend downloading their library and see what all it already includes
The Inkplate 10 is great. I haven’t gotten a lot done other than toy stuff, but so far it’s been a mostly good experience.
Another nice entry point is micropython. Some of the getting started stuff has gaps but overall nice and simple if you’re more comfortable in Python. Major libraries have ports so it mostly is an easy dive in.
Before you get too far, you may want to consider PlatformIO. It's a bit more involved to start than the Arduino IDE, but it includes a file where the hardware and library dependencies are specified. So if you want to develop on a second machine, you can just check out and go, etc.
Yeah. I know about PlatformIO. I'm pretty agnostic about languages and tooling TBH. I've used Arduino, AdaFruit things, Raspberry PIs, ESP8266, ESP32, ATTINY84, esptool, luatool, avrdude, you name it. Python, Lua, C, C++. Whatever gives me path of least resistance. Sometimes a Makefile, sometimes an IDE.

But probably some of the GPIO pins on the ESP32 are usable (unless they're reserved for the touch pad buttons on the front, I can't remember).
