FOSS Microsoft Office for Linux (lemmy.world)

Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office for the Linux.

I've already tried:

  • LibreOffice (It doesn't have the same experience as Microsoft's apps.)
  • OnlyOffice Desktop Editors (I like it)

What else would you recommend?

Why did Linus start developing Linux when he could have just contributed to FreeBSD which already existed?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it didn't. FreeBSD didn't exist until 1993. 386BSD wasn't until 1992. Linus has said that if a free, unencumbered BSD for PCs existed in 1991, he indeed would not have made Linux.

Well I'm an idiot then.
