#abiword is more like word used to be in the 90s what more could anyone ask?
Unless you are a pro-publisher typesetter. Even libreoffice makes me dizzy .. too many options too long to discover what they do and remember where/how to use them.

Otherwise I get by with nino and ml daily

It wasn't #Abiword the official Gnome word-processor? 🤷‍♂️

Abiword est une alternative gratuite à Word, particulièrement adapté aux plus vieux PC.
Fonctionnant sous Windows, Linux et HaikuOS, il mérite d''être découvert : https://monordinosaure.fr/index.php?view=article&id=151

I guess I'd like to understand what magical things you can do with a word processor from #Microsoft that I can't do with #AbiWord or #LibreOffice. At this stage, getting me back to Word would require both dragons and lasers.

Existe-t-il des alternatives libres à Microsoft Word, qui respecteront le budget et les documents de ses utilisateurs, et qui pourraient également être utilisés sur des ordinateurs d’ancienne génération ?
C’est ce que nous allons voir en testant Abiword, Calligra, Libre Office et Only Office : https://monordinosaure.fr/index.php?view=article&id=148

New #blog post: Setting up #Gnome (Linux) for #seniors. I've been looking into how to best set up an extremely simplified and limited #Linux for #elderly people. There don't seem to be many pre-existing efforts for this, so I figured I'd write a short blog about it.

@mosgaard Yes, in fact, I've been working on a blog post describing how I'm setting up #Gnome to be as simple as possible (with extensions) and what software I use.

Regarding email, I've opted for #Geary instead of #Thunderbird. Much fewer features, which in this case is a good thing. (Myself, I would absolutely go for Thunderbird...) I already set it up to work with his email, so compatibility isn't a problem.

#Abiword similarly seems nice and low in features, I've been trying it out.

are there #markdown editors on #linux with a dark editing background that can output #pdf directly that doesn't look like hot garbage?

i am writing a lot of cover letters in #abiword and the traditional word processor flow plus the eye-searing white background is annoying. i'd also like to avoid banging out the cover letter in markdown in my text editor and then using #pandoc to convert it.

i'd like to be able to edit my doc and mash an export or save button for a PDF.
