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.
oscardejarjayes, If you really want word, you could try Microsoft 365, where its in your browser instead of a thing you download.
christophski, Have you tried the different interfaces that libreoffice has? Try switching to their ribbon-like ui and see if it matches what you are looking for.
What exactly are you missing?
undrwater, Your question is likely too general for a good answer.
What do you need specifically? What makes the solutions you’ve tried ‘meh’? What would make an office suite ‘better’?
There used to be a wine-based project specifically for Microsoft office. It was called crossover office. Not sure if it’s still maintained.
Good luck!
efscher, 
WPS Office and FreeOffice. Each with their own caveats, but one just might work for you.
Helix, Use the online version of Word if you want Word. If you want the desktop version use an older one, the Office 365 ones don’t really work on Linux.
Why is LibreOffice ‘meh’?
