Write on one endless page.

Slate is a lightweight, native word processor for Linux. It opens Word documents, Markdown, and plain text, lets you edit them as they look, and saves them back without touching what you didn't change.

Download for Linux

Word, Markdown, text.docx, .md, and .txt, opened as they look.
Only your editsEverything you didn't change is saved as it was.
Safe savesA crash never corrupts your file.

Install

For your user, no sudo: the app, its menu entry, and Word documents and Markdown files opening with it. Start it from your app menu or with slate. Run the command again to update.

curl -fsSL https://this-site/install.sh | sh

It needs GTK 4, which GNOME desktops have; otherwise the installer says how to get it. Or download the tarball above and check it against the published sha256. To remove it:

curl -fsSL https://this-site/install.sh | sh -s -- --uninstall
