Linux users shut the fuck up about telling people how great Linux is and they should switch to it for 3 seconds challenge
To answer OP's question, another WordPerfect recommendation. Might be a bit too heavy for your needs but should still work fine and is far lighter then newer MS Word versions.

A compiled binary executable designed to run under a Windows environment, runs under a Windows environment. Shocker, I know.

It was a joke. I use Linux. I just thought it was funny because it was the first search result. I don't usually use rtf in general because I don't like the format.

yes rtf is a fucking meme
and a decent proportion of gnu/linux users already have wine though which means the wine implementation of wordpad is not too far away

personally if i was op i would use my favorite text editor to write markdown or maybe html if i feel like giving myself an RSI typing angle brackets

What I'm suggesting might be a meme answer to you, but it's not intended as one:
Currently I would write LaTeX in Neovim for documents that I need to display to someone else in a manner that goes beyond what I can do with Markdown but LyX does seem interesting, a GUI application that does WYSIWYM ("what you see is what you mean") typesetting which minimizes the amount of futzing with settings to get an intended outcome.
