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.

    I recommend Obsidian with community plugins. Application itself isn’t open-source but your content stored as markdown files.

          It’s not compatible with other Markdown forks, but the whole Markdown ecosystem is a mess duct taped together by more forks & extensions that aren’t compatible either. Even the common denominator CommonMark is feature-barren & isn’t suitable for documentation or technical writing, but boy howdy will the next guy have his Markdown contraption to sell you.
