We are using Scribus in our office on some 10 OpenSuse or Windows 10
machines and no stability issues for years.

Recently I had shared about one or two crashes in 1.5.7. That was
specifically when I was testing the - for us - new features around the
variable text item. So I am still testing those and not yet using for
production for deadlines. Sadly, it is always my time that is limited
for testing and more detailed reports. I have created test documents and
those are working fine, it seems to be just one or two operations (I
forget) that consistently trigger the crash, so I learnt to avoid those.



Otherwise we have done magazines for years, 20 pages A3 in full color at
600 dpi (long story); we have done entire books with line-art on every
page and all that on very humble hardware and without a need to cut into
separate files.
 We are using Scribus basically for every publication in our office,
even for a one-page-poster or flyer, because we have full control on the
layout and it handles our minority language very well.

We can recommend Scribus for Windows and for OpenSuse as a stable and
useful tool that we appreciate a lot.
