FOSS Microsoft Office for Linux (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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?

Honestly, if your willing to learn to use LibreOffice, it's way more powerful than OnlyOffice. It took me a minute to get used to it too, but once you do, it's pretty awesome. And if your worried about UI, you can change some of those things in the settings, like you can make it have a MS-style ribbon at the top. If I were you, I'd spend two weeks trying LO, I think you'll get used to it pretty quick

How so? More features? If so, some people just use a small handful in MSOffice, and just want those for their office clone. Maybe OOP is willibg to sacrifice feature-completeness for a similar UI.

In fact, based on their negative assessment of LibreOffice for not being enough like Microsoft, I'm willing to be that's the case.

much prefer the ribbons for the UI. it's much more convenient imo and I was lost otherwise. glad libreoffice had that as customisation options!
