From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Libre is good but I have no idea why WPS Office isn't discussed more. It's essentially a functioning MS Office clone.
Because it's not free software. It's proprietary, so you're still putting everything into the hands of some random corporation. Software freedom is important, and important to this community specifically.
That makes sense, thanks for the explanation
ONLYOFFICE (sorry about the caps, poor name choice IMO) has even better docx compatibility, and its source code is open
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out
