Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.

    Try the other UI layouts, like the notebook bar. LO can look pretty close to MS office if you change the settings some.

      It’s all programmer UI, really.

      Even the tabbed view was hard to use for me, especially the impossible to use “styles” box that scrolls a narrow view. I use it all the time on MS Word, and much prefer how they handle it.

      Also, no CSD, so the title bar kinda just chills there, meanwhile it’s used in Microsoft Word.
