I got a new computer fairly recently, and it's great in most everything, except it doesn't come with any version of Word aside from an online-only version. I'm really not a fan of typing on something like that for a long time, and doubly so because my internet is very unstable at my current place. I often write when my net goes down, so an online-only Word doesn't really do much for me. I also don't trust it in case I was typing something bigger when I had an outage or something, because my ISP is absolutely horrible.
Are there any good alternatives out there? I don't need anything mega fancy with a ton of features or anything. Just like, a few steps up from Notepad or something, ideally. --- Winner of the Third Hacked User Contest. World's #1 Phoenix Wright fan. ... Copied to Clipboard!

How did you write a whole novel and still need to ask this ffs I wrote my novels on my old laptop, on Word 2010. It worked fine for everything I needed at the time. I'd actually still be down to use it if possible, but my keys are quite literally falling off of that laptop by now, so it makes writing very difficult. I've just never really needed to look into alternatives. Shezarr posted...

google docs
you can make docs usable in offline mode, i think it would probably help with the connection problems. but i've never had a problem and it does everything and more than word could do. --- Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm.

Libreoffice is great. I haven't touched Word in like a decade.

LibreOffice.
Don't waste your time on Google Docs, in particular. It's online-only (technically there are ways to work offline but it's such a fucking hassle compared to just having a damn file on your local drive), and if you're willing to accept that, you can use the online versions of MS Office for free too - and they'll be far more like what you're used to. Another option is to just get MS Office itself on the subscription. This also comes with 1TB OneDrive cloud storage, which is probably an excellent idea to have (of course it doesn't specifically have to be OneDrive, but you're getting two things you want for a decent combined price here). --- And God said, Let there be Trumble: and there was Trumble. ...
