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.

    Softmaker Office uses .docx natively, so you don’t have compatibility issues with Word at all.

    Its UI is also very close to MS Office. It’s a drop-in replacement for current MS Office.

      Softmaker does also offer a free of charge light version FreeOffice you could try out before committing to pay for their full version.
