Microsoft Office alternative

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Fedora

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • winapps

    Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration.

  • Tutorial can be found Here

  • ONLYOFFICE

    ONLYOFFICE Docs is a free collaborative online office suite comprising viewers and editors for texts, spreadsheets and presentations, forms and PDF, fully compatible with Office Open XML formats: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and enabling collaborative editing in real time.

  • You can also give OnlyOffice a try which attempts to look and act like MS Office and works to be as compatible as possible as a goal. You can use their own OnlyOffice Online Personal edition for free though. It also has nextcloud support to host it online but I'm not sure if its free though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • LibreOffice

    Read-only LibreOffice core repo - no pull request (use gerrit instead https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/) - don't download zip, use https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bundles/ instead (by LibreOffice)

  • LibreOffice is the total FOSS answer. It doesn't try to be MS Office and though it supports Microsoft's OOXML Strict standard, MS itself does not save in its own OOXML Strict standard by default, so it can mess with compatibility a bit. Microsoft has been in transition to their OOXML standard for 15 years so far...

  • DesktopEditors

    An office suite that combines text, spreadsheet and presentation editors allowing to create, view and edit local documents
