    Preaching to the choir here but LibreOffice has been excellent since my MSOffice license expired. Unless you’re working in an enterprise setting with MS-specific macros or online collaboration, there’s no reason to be paying for basic document editing software in 2025.

    There are also self-hosted and open-sourced collaborative editing suites available that I haven’t tried yet, but there are plenty of options

      Does it save files locally or only cloud? I want to move away from google docs/sheets.

      Even if you need microsoft office for some random file you can use their free web version. Well it’s been a couple years since I last needed it I’m assuming it still exists
