I am still deciding which Linux distro to download on my new laptop. One of the things I do on the laptop is writing. Is there a good but free word processor to use with this OS? Thanks!
That's an opinion based question so you're so to get a lot of different responses. I personally us LibreOffice Writer.
I used Softmaker FreeOffice for quite some time, but it was quite laggy when backspacing a lot of text, typing and doing very basic tasks, really. And I have a powerful hardware, so it was not my fault.
I then moved to OnlyOffice, quite good even if not perfect: it does not integrate well with the rest of the OS and had a bare bone selection of fonts.
I can use any office application like MS Office, LibreOffice, Google Suite and other. But favourite is LibreOffice Writer, Google Doc and Sheet.
