Besides Libre Office, what other programs/solutions exist in the Linux world for writers?
(Please, don’t suggest VIM. After all the memes and comments I’ve read, I’ve come to dread it).
I like writing but the standard Writer tends to send me in a constant formatting spree.
I want to get back to writing regularly and something that could help me stay focused and somewhat organized would be nice.
There is still an older version of Scrivener available for free, from when they were beta testing it on Linux. It still worked well last time I checked. The Windows version also runs really well in WIne, although it takes a bit of setting up initially.
Compatibility is apparently really good on Linux according to CrossOver reports only a month or two ago: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/scrivener
I have paid scrivener and it’s a fantastic product for writing a story… or a DnD campaign even!
I haven’t shopped around but I switched from word to onenote to scriv and stopped looking. This is from my experience on windows not linix.
Not sure how good the beta is. https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/linux-1-9-01-beta-released/31623
