Like title asks. I use the program for my writing in Microsoft Word, and wanted to know if Linux supports it, or Grammrmley? If not then what alternative are there for Linux?

Coincidentally, I made a post about the merits of replacing ProWritingAid or Grammarly with Grammatik, a grammar checker from 1998.

More info here.

LibreOffice works with LanguageTool, which is basically just open source Grammarly. So maybe give that a go and see how it works for you.

@Fredselfish Is Prowriter same as ProwritingAid? If so yes, if not I don't know.

I believe so yes. That's good to know. Does it work with the plugin with the Writing program on Linux as well?

@Fredselfish I have not personally used it, I've just seen it advertised as working with LibreOffice.
