I would go with any of well supported distros. I do not think Fedora is among those, not on PinePhone anyway.
I am not sure how well OpenOffice will run on any distro (even well supported one) due to the fact it's probably not optimized for small screen, and it's also a bit 'heavy' of an application.[0]
So, personally, I would use a good text editor. Which have a lot of advantages. However, any truly powerful text editor is going to have some amount of learning curve (and the more power, the more curve). I am a huge fan and proponent of Emacs for example, but she's a hairy beast! Some people like vim but you won't be able to exit out of it. There are many others which may be easier to start with, but the aforementioned 'big 2' are true power user tools which require some investment to master. It's sort of tangential whether or not you think that investment is worth it in the long run. Personally I do, but YMMV.
[0] In fairness, I do not use it (on PinePhone) so I could be totally wrong. This is just what I suspect.
