Besides Libre Office, what other programs/solutions exist in the Linux world for writers?

(Please, don’t suggest VIM. After all the memes and comments I’ve read, I’ve come to dread it).

I like writing but the standard Writer tends to send me in a constant formatting spree.

I want to get back to writing regularly and something that could help me stay focused and somewhat organized would be nice.

    Version control is an interesting idea.

    I used to write fiction as a hobbie and want to return to it again.

    The blank sheet of a standard text editor messes with my nerves. I lose myself editing, formating, etc.

    If I could find a prompt that I could pre set the font, layout of the final work, and then have the program leave me alone, it would be perfect.

    Most writers solutions come with a lot of bells and whistles, like word counter, time elapsed, goals, etc. Unnecessary. Distracting.
