Writing program
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.
Obsidian’s fork of Markdown. Don’t expect compatibility.
There are extensions for obsidian compatability in Vim and Emacs.
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.
