Anyway, back to the default question:
Create non-fiction pamphlet on Linux?
Completely depends on what type of documents.
Have any sample images/documents of what you're aiming for?
Is this going to be text-heavy? Or are you going to create tons of images with floating bubbles, multi-page spreads? etc. etc.
Why did you choose LyX initially, just because you wanted a WYSIWYM editor? And you didn't know enough pure LaTeX?

EPUB output was JUST added in LibreOffice v6.
v6.1 added a few more tweaks:

like Metadata, Footnotes, slightly better image handling.
But it is still VERY rough (and nothing close to something coming out of Calibre ODT/DOCX->EPUB, or as clean as Toxaris's EPUB Tools). Like I mentioned, it's pretty much just the XHTML that's been coming out of LibreOffice for a while now, just plopped into an EPUB wrapper.

Which will be me until the built-in comes up to standard. I've had a very good run with Writer2xhtml, I think it creates an excellent starting position for final clean up in Sigil. |
That's sad to hear. Because yeah, the current LibreOffice EPUB Export is... not up to standards yet.

NotJohn brought up WordStar over the years.
Last time he brought it up, I pointed out emacs with "WordStar emulation mode":

Since cootcraig using vim, I assume there's something similar. (vim and emacs can do EVERYTHING!)
Side Note: And earliest I remember is 2015, when we were poking a little fun at him:
