FOSS Microsoft Office for Linux (lemmy.world)

Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office for the Linux.

I've already tried:

LibreOffice (It doesn't have the same experience as Microsoft's apps.)
OnlyOffice Desktop Editors (I like it)

What else would you recommend?

Why did Linus start developing Linux when he could have just contributed to FreeBSD which already existed?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, it didn't. FreeBSD didn't exist until 1993. 386BSD wasn't until 1992. Linus has said that if a free, unencumbered BSD for PCs existed in 1991, he indeed would not have made Linux.
