If we look at this video, do we not think the Pinephone would be great for mobile word processing?
Although we are very interested in this application on the Pinephone, we did not yet find a wordprocessor which runs on the Phonephone which fits for our needs:
1 LibreOffice
– Who uses it on the Pinephone?

2. VIM was suggested in the Pine 64 forum:
– who uses VIM in 2023?
3. Abiword
- alaraajavamma from the Pine64 forum says she uses it on the Pinephone
- But I was not able to write to the external SD card with it
- after I installed postmarketOS with Abiword on the exernal SD card, I was able to open Abiword files on a Ubuntu PC, and save it to an SD card again.
But when I come back to my Pinephone I had issues most probably because of Abiword format mess:

- not only me had this issues with Abiword formats, there are a number of Abiword format issues reported:
4. An Abiword user in the web suggested LyX word processor as Abiword alternative
- I installed LyX Version 2.3.7 (Sonntag, 1. Januar 2023) on my PC
- it looks similar to Abword
- there are more recent versions available than for Abword
- instructions for LyX are quiet academic and very extended
- still it looks great on my Windows 10 PC and simple
- does someone use LyX on his Pinephone?
- It looks as if it was an option to replace Abiword if it messes up with file formats.
