"Fuck you, Microsoft." -Everyone, at all times
Even if you're not ready to come to Linux, you're definitely ready to switch to LibreOffice. I dare you to try it.
I'm using OnlyOffice bins on linux and find it to be a fantastic suite for my (minimal) uses. Not sure how it works on Windows though.
I'm unclear on the differences between OpenOffice (which I genuinely thought was retired, didn't realize it was still a thing) and LibreOffice. If it ever gives you trouble, do make the switch.
OnlyOffice, not OpenOffice. This is a different suite entirely. Might be better for people coming from MS Office, since it looks practically identical. Also supports opening multiple files as tabs.
Ah. I tried that a few times and didn't care for it myself. Weird that my brain thought it saw OpenOffice.
