LibreOffice is a good solution for anything one would use Office or WordPad for. Works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
Libre Office is a good replacement for Office/Word, but it is much heavier than WordPad.
It even feels heavier than Office on windows (on linux it feels much better).
Likely feels that way because it has to load the Java runtime before launching.
I believe, it only loads a Java runtime for the JDBC database driver in LibreOffice Base. At least, you can tell it in the settings to not use a Java runtime and that seems to not affect the remaining functionality...
Tbh I don't use Windows or libre office so I'm just guessing. Back in the day I just know it took what felt like forever to load initially (and my pc fans took flight each time) but so did MS office 🤷
