Switch to Linux Mint and Libreoffice. You will thank me later!

[-] shilohcode@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

This is the way. Any Linux and FOSS alternatives really.

I've been using LibreOffice and before that OpenOffice for as long as I've known about them being options. It's honestly baffling to me that any home user would ever pay for MS Office. What on Earth does it offer that any home user could conceivably need?

[-] r_deckard@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

One doesn't need to pay for MS Office. Not home users, anyway.

Familiarity, I suppose.

Former burned out core LM developer here, the grass is not always greener (but maybe is if you don't know how the sausage is cooked).

I, in fact, do not know how the sausage is cooked. It's great!

Well, thank GNOME for it being somewhat usable, but I have higher standards.

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

LM is pretty green

It’s always better when you don’t know how the sausage is made.

Manjaro and SoftMaker Office works just as well

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

And then, you need a SW only available via AUR on arch based distro, see the toggle to enable AUR, do it, successfully install the app, make manjaro sw update and welcome in dependency hell ❤️
