Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives - eviltoast

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.

    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.

      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.
