I'm a former RedHat user (mid to late 1990's, if I remember correctly) my problem then was the word processor, I'll call WordPerfect look alike, which I found to be very lacking compared to the original WordPerfect. I'd guess you could say that I'm an advanced user of WordPerfect-7 and the options that you can use.

Just wondering out loud, if things have changed, ref: WordPerfect & Linux. Maybe just run Linux with a virtual windows program, similar to Windows-7 / virtual machine?

Check out LibreOffice. Version 5 is very good. I use it exclusively, and my MS Office-using co-workers don't know the difference.
