Softmaker Office uses .docx natively, so you don’t have compatibility issues with Word at all.

Its UI is also very close to MS Office. It’s a drop-in replacement for current MS Office.

Softmaker does also offer a free of charge light version FreeOffice you could try out before committing to pay for their full version.

WPS Office and FreeOffice. Each with their own caveats, but one just might work for you.

What’s your goal? Markdown / latex may work better for your use case than word. typora.io obsidian.md logseq.com github.com/marktext/marktext

NateNate60,

Dear God, anyone who doesn’t already use LaTeX should not be told to use LaTeX. It’s really a great departure from traditional word processors and I firmly believe that people really need to discover it on their own, or else they will just be confused and think it’s an arcane, dated, and useless piece of software.

Now do VIM.

GravitySpoiled,

come on :D I provided ressources to markdown, not latex. markdown is easier than word.

Diplomjodler,

Found the “I use Arch, BTW” guy.

lal309,

OnlyOffice is the only one that I’ve used that has a good looking UI, works out of the box and very good compatibility (across Microsoft and other document standards). Install is just one flatpak away. Highly recommend.

irmoz,

I second this. I use it for university. Good software.

Helix,

Use the online version of Word if you want Word. If you want the desktop version use an older one, the Office 365 ones don’t really work on Linux.

Why is LibreOffice ‘meh’?
