Anonymous asked: I do not have microsoft word. Do you know any good, alternative, free word processors?
I know of Open Office. It is free and several versions better than it was during my failed attempt to use it (back in 2010 when I could not for the life of me get it to display wordcount. May have been a failure on my part). It is probably good for most of your word processing needs.
Can my followers recommend any others, or offer a better perspective on Open Office?

Use LibreOffice rather than Open Office. Politics happened, basically – it’s the same thing but continued development.
If you want a very lightweight thing that does, like, the basic Word 97 stuff and maybe a few more cool tricks, look up AbiWord.
Pandoc+LaTeX is Definitely Not A Word Processor, but for certain people it can be more convenient than one, so I’d suggest spending a minute on the Pandoc website and seeing if it looks good.
Somebody tell my brain the answer is not “customized vim setup” for most people…
