I say LibreOffice as well. Tons of features compared to others on the Linux side, and file compatibility is a huge plus if you need to use a non-Linux computer or network to print something off (like a college, library, or workplace) or finish a project else-where. Can't go wrong with Libre!  |

Pretty much everyone has said LibreOffice and I think I'll agree with them. It's a viable alternative to Microsoft Word, and is much better than OpenOffice in terms of development status. You can even get both the ribbon and classic interfaces unlike MS Office  |

LibreOffice Writer is my word processor of choice. However, I don't believe the Linux version has any "better features" than the Windows version.
