LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs – Computerworld - feddit.nl

Lemmy

It’s perfectly good office software. I really don’t need or want AI services.
  • FreeOffice.
  • LibreOffice.
  • Yozo Office.
  • OnlyOffice.
  • WPS Office.

There you go all kind off Free (and some open source) office app

Careful there. WPS Office is Chinese and OnlyOffice fucking russian.
OnlyOffice is Estonian
No no, Latvian, but that is just a ruse. Development happens in russia.
Only office is Russian and “headquartered” in Latvia.
And they have a Russian version that they named after the first nuclear ICBM…
WTF. Uninstalling Immediately.
Last time I tried FreeOffice it had an important feature missing on Linux (and maybe Mac ?idk): you can’t write formulas and equations

i switched to Linux Mint as well. I really don’t want to use any big tech garbage anymore. They will lure you in with a cheap offer and then when everyone is aboard it’s time to raise prices and start the enshittification.

Thunderbird is also a very good alternative to Outlook.

I steered away from cloud services as long as possible and it seems i’ve made the right choice by keeping it local to my NAS.

Been using Libre for a little bit, like it so far!
It’s not only about the subscription costs.
