Is there a good word editor on Linux? Because libre office qt lags crazy on plasma wayland, doesn't have auto lists, or horizontal line, requires an extra package for spell check, and OnlyOffice is missing basic formatting, like horizontal lines, has memory leak issues too, and doesn't even allow selecting multiple words at a time. Srsly double clicking selects a word, but dragging unselects it.
Ok, you've got something going on with your system. If LibreOffice and VMs are lagging on your system then something isn't right.
You probably want to ask a Pro Office user. I've just used Libre Office. Worked fine for my papers in school and edits my resume just fine.
I just use Typst for everything these days, but if you really want a gui thing there's always the web version of google docs and ms office
Google docs and word online dont have many advanced features unfortunately.
Something is broken on your system. Libre office works fine on all other machines.
There's literally open issues about the lag, im talking about. And even if that didn't exist. It's just bad. It's not intuitive, it doesn't have any of the convenience features that MS word has.
Maybe, maybe not.
The last version ow MS Word I used was Word 2.0c. I quit using it because it was completely broken whenever the file got a bit large. I switched to Linux at that time and used office suites on that platform (that was before libre/open office, even before StarOffice I think, I ran Applix at the time), none of them I've ever had issues with.
