My kid uses Linux at his engineering job. Is Linux good for word processing? That is mainly what I do for work. I also have not “upgraded to Windows 10” not wanting to torture myself with learning a new program.

Al linux systems have a full office suite.....word processing is very easy. Comes free.

I use Mint...very stable, like never crashes, unless u overload it and even that takes a hell of a lot to do that and it has probably been running for days, before.

Linux Mint comes with a full suite of word processing tools that do all the same work that all Windows systems do. I haven't yet tried it out because I don't do real work on this computer, but it's all there if I ever need it.

Best of all, it's all free!

“s Linux good for word processing? “

It’s OK if you’re not a user of the esoteric functions buried deep in the MS Word menus. If you are, you’ll likely hate it, but if you search hard enough, you may be able to find something that will do what you want.

You’re still going to have to learn SOMETHING new.
