FlihpFlorp, to privacy in Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives

Thanks for the suggestions. I was going to use libreoffice as the main editor but then use open office if my document had images or anything that doesn’t play nice with libreoffice but the pdf suggestion sounds better

Also didn’t see your bottom question at first but I’m on windows and edit documents both on my home laptop and one I bring to my classes which is why being able to play nice with proton drive is a must for me.

Ah I see good to know. For me formatting issues aren’t a super big deal and sounds like it’s outweighed with its reputation here. I guess if it does become an issue I can simply hop over to open office but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there

I wouldn’t know lol but I’m assuming it does since someone else recommended it

As for now tho I’m gonna check out libreoffice and then have open office as a back up now that more than 1 person is recommending it

Oh this is helpful

Yeah another person said it gets funky with formatting but that’s not a huge deal for me as the most complex formats for the class syllabus I like to just have a copy but probably nothing I can’t do by saving it as a pdf

And like I said in those comments my own documents aren’t complex mostly just using tab and enter to make my documents more readable for myself

Like I said I have all these files on proton drive

Assuming I stick with word and don’t move to libreoffice like a few comments have suggested- in a desktop environment is really the only difference that it’s now going to open in a web browser, I’m just asking incase it doesn’t play nice with proton drive

Yeah another commentor suggested it but said it gets funky with formatting but I’m definitely gonna check it out

Also is this it. Just wanna make sure before I download the first libreoffice I see lol

For obvious reasons I’d like to avoid Google as I’m still migrating away but good to know I can use that as an absolute final resort

Thanks!

I think I’m going to go with obsidian

Stupid question where can I download it

FlihpFlorp, to privacy in OneNote Alternatives

Oh that’s helpful too but u was asking for me obsidian my bad lol

FlihpFlorp, to privacy in OneNote Alternatives

That definitely sounds a little weird to me but another comment said there’s plugins or addons or something would there be one for organizing them or probably not

FlihpFlorp, to privacy in OneNote Alternatives

I’ll give it standard notes shot. Does it have the ability to hand write notes. It also has its own cloud saves and a manual local save if I’m reading that right so that sounds perfect for proton drive since someone else said obsidian has a weird autosave

FlihpFlorp, to privacy in OneNote Alternatives

I was gonna check out obsidian since that seems to be popular and open source isn’t a necessity for me but thanks for the option

And for xournal yeah the cross note is something I would definitely rather have but thank :)

FlihpFlorp, to lemmyshitpost in GTA: Real life

I thought that was a reflection of a phone and a shirt for some reason and could not figure it out
