Rich text editor for linux
I need a rich text editor for Linux for note-taking. I'm aware there is this question from 2009: What is the simplest RTF editor in linux? The top answer recommends Abiword. I tried Abiword, but I found it glitchy, and the project does not seem to be very active any more. I also tried LibreOffice writer, but it somehow lost half of my file when saving as .rtf, so I am not touching that any more. Is there any good rich text editor for Linux in this day and age?
Edit: this was tagged a "possible duplicate" of the question I linked. I repeat that the 6-year-old question did not help me, so I am asking again to get a more recent answer. In my opinion 6 years is enough time to ask again in case new software has come up.

you can install wordpad or notepad using wine. You can also install open office.

I agree one is entitled to ask again the same question, 6 years later. It is not obvious that the answer, at least in this specific case, should be the same.

Thank you, but the only editor that supports rich text editing and runs on Linux natively on that page seems to be Abiword, which I did not like for the reasons mentioned in my original post.
