From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not op, but what drives me back to word (and other ms office like pp and publisher and win is:
90%: Far Superior spell and grammar and style check
10%:
Easy integration of a good tts to read my own texts to me as well as lecture for university.
Easy citavi integration
Auto complete sentences (at least in English)
superior layout presets (on click and OK and modern enough style to submit without even thinking about it) (Far superior for publisher)
Have you tried languagetool? There is an integration for Libre Office, Obsidian, MS Word and others. It offers spell checking, rephrasing and is superior to the build in checker in my experience. You could compare it to DeepL versus Azure Translate.
This looks quite interesting tbh. I will habe a look, thanks for suggesting
As someone with dyslexia, the superior spell and grammar check is what I miss most in libreOffice. I usually have to use an external tool for spell check like grammarly.
