I am using Loonix, #yold. You'd have to be brain-damaged not to see its flaws tho.
Every time I have to interact with LibreOffice it's not a good experience, especially since it's infested with GTKisms.

Are there any word processors out there that doesn't come with a full on bloated office suite or millions of random features I will never use?

I basically just want WordPad but foss.
>>
>>101212827
>it's not a good experience
Neither is MS office. Every time I have to use this piece of shit I have to google where to find things because the menus are unintuitive as fuck. Also it's blosted as fuck and every time you insert a large picture it freezes for like 10 seconds and becomes unresponsive, this never happens in libreoffice.
>>
>>101213192
You can only download libreoffice writer without the rest of the suite
If that's not your speed look into markdown text editors, those are great for your use case and there's a lot of good FOSS ones
>>
>>101212741
Single toolbar is best.
>>
>>101213056
>just get spied on by google and be reliant on internet
>>
>>101213263
It's more just the nonsensical cluttered interface filled with a billion features I will never use and the laughably slow startup speed that bother me. I don't need enterprise word processing, I just want a braindead word processes that is basically one step up from a text editor.

As for markdown, any good ones that have live preview and a UI with buttons for typeface and font settings, headers, that stuff?
>>
>>101213356
To be honest I have no idea
There's too many of them out there
Search "markdown" in flathub or your distro's software manager and try to find the one you like most

why have they still not fixed their docs? Looks garbage when you search anything you get the old docs from 2013 instead of the latest and in general its just way too many words instead of short well rounded examples. Also performance wise it sucks I don't understand why it struggles so much with 100k rows.

its the terrible choice of monochrome icons + text + lack of borders the gtk4 mockup was way better. Onlyoffice avoids it by being cleaner. Probably didn't want to copy MS homeworks but its important as the above examples shows.
/g/ usually hates flat shit so why ignore this?
>>
the notes UI in impress is awful and it is crazy that it took so long to resolve, people have been complaining for about a decade
getting fixed in the next major release though
