For instance, Google docs is the only (good) free doc editor app, but now that I can, I am trying out several normally paid apps.
Libre Office, which is free and open source, is wonderful and more than adequate in 99% of cases.

On mobile I mean, I don't really use desktop computers all that much. I fully agree that libre is better than ms office on pc
Wow great link mate 😄
Technically you should be posting this link:
Must be out dated it encourages using reddit :)
Its the megathread for this instance. I guess FMHY don't even have an instance anymore though
The cost and lock-in of most software is not actually the money they charge for it. It's the time you take to learn it. So if you take time now to learn proprietary software, you're in fact tying yourself to that software.
It's like all the graphics design students pirating Photoshop, when they go out to work what skill set are they going to use most?
Great way to put it
Office is obviously handy. Download a legitimate release and activate using this. Other than that, I only use pirated software on an airgapped computer.
I've come to enjoy Onlyoffice. It's free, has cool features, and it has slick, dark mode
What are some software that you have a need for?
Calculators, Editors, Call Apps, Population simulators, map projection programs, paid newspapers, offline sea maps.
That's the ones I can think of right now
