Microsoft Suite Alternatives for Linux

I have been using LibreOffice for many years and it does exactly what I expect it to do.

Comparable to Microsoft Office but free and open-source.

LibreOffice is not fully compatible with Microsoft formats as OnlyOffice is, yet it's good to to be protected from Microsoft Corporation's vendor lock-in.

Does most things you'd want MS office to do, however, some formatting options aren't available in office files (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx etc). If your main focus is using these files, this is probably not for you, but for anyone else, it is perfect.

Smoother and way more reliable than ms office.

I've been using it every day and totally satisfied with all the features. It has wonderful Microsoft Office support and is FOSS.

Messes up all the formatting from .docx files

Compatibility to MS Office and PDF Editing all in one.

This office suite provides the best compatibility with Microsoft Office. The lifetime licence is a good investment. You can switch the user interface from menus to ribbons.

Very polished interface with ribbon toolbar and feature rich. Paid version allows a vast collection of high quality templates.

It's all compatible with MS Office, ant it is the fastest office software under Linux, I think it's more better than open office and LibreOffice; and it's availible on many platforms like Windos, MacOS, iOS, Linux and Android

This is the best alternative to Microsoft Office Suite, and you can use it easily if you are familiar with MS Office

Updated, polished and is highly compatible with ms office almost in every way.

In my opinion WPS gives you the closest thing to MS Office. If you are familiar with MS Office you should be able to use WPS right away. This is the main reason I prefer it to OpenOffice or Libre Office

It's much faster than Microsoft Office, it's compatible with MSO, can do the same, and it's free. I have tried several MSO alternatives, and OnlyOffice is by far the best.

Runs on Linux, open source, fast, nice and easy, compatible with MS Office documents.

It's design looks modern and not stuck in the early 2000's

Completely free, great compatibility with MS Office, fast and reasonably lightweight.

FOSS, looks exactly like Microsoft Office and totally compatible with it.

Clean modern interface, more compatible with MSOffice than Libre or Open, but heavier to run on slow hardware probably

Between OnlyOffice, FreeOffice, WPS and LibreOffice, the closest i could get to a Microsoft Word document was with OnlyOffice and since i need the best compatibility possible, i liked OnlyOffice.

Free, no ads like many other "free" programs, and open source.

I've been using it for a few years and had no problems. Recommend it!

Don't use it! Apache OpenOffice is a dead project. For many years there's been no real serious updates to the project.

It has all that MSO has and is more user friendly, faster and free!

Apache Open Office is based on the old StarOffice, which 10-15 years ago was way ahead of MS Office - and so is AOO to-day. The other alternative is LibreOffice, which is also based upon the same old platform. Those two are especially efficient for work, but also fill any need a private user can have

I was using only Libre Office for years on Linux. Now I use FreeOffice and Latex via VS Code the most. FreeOffice is fast and streamlined, the UI is well built and looks good, very compatible with MS proprietary formats. It's also available for several platforms. There's a commercial alternative with more features too if you need support. Just try it.

I use a SoftMaker Office and SoftMaker FreeOffice in Linux O.S., it isn't problem with print, eletronic plan XLSX and DOCX.

Easily the easist, fastest & best designed MS Office alternative, though it may lack some advanced functionality (I wouldn't know, as I primarily use it for standard, basic office suite use)

nice but not as polished as office365

It does not require DotNet or Java to run. It runs natively on all WIN32 systems. That means it can be installed and run on Windows 95 right up to Windows 10 without any problems. It supports only open document formats, like the Rich Text format (*.RTF), that can be opened by any office suite on any operating system without any formatting errors. It is a very small download and install and also does not use any resources from the system.

It does not require Java or.NET to be loaded on your computer!
