Microsoft Office is relatively expensive and does not run on Linux too well.
There's at least
- Openoffice.org
- LibreOffice
- Run MS Office in wine (does it work?)
- Run MS Office in CrossOffice (is it better than wine?)
- Run MS Office in virtual machine (requires both Office and Windows licenses)
And on cloud
- Google Docs (Google Drive)
- Office365
I'm receiving some files created with MS Office from other, but those are not complicated. Additionally, minor breaking in formatting is tolerable, as files are primarily for transmitting information, not presenting it to e.g paying customer in best possible format. Being able to both open and export to MS Office compatible files is a must, though. Working normally on different format is okay.
In addition to that, I don't have specific feature requirements. I'm looking for recommendations for office suite (in this case, word processor, spreadsheets, slides) in Linux. I certainly don't need every bell and whistle MS Office offers.
docx
files, then converting them to another format with pandoc (tex
,odt
,rtf
,txt
,markdown
, etc.: you name it) back and forth might also be an option.
