Can anyone elaborate on Free Office? I checked, it was first submitted to AUR in 2013, but it’s the very first time I hear the brand. I use Libre Office and I tried OnlyOffice as well. Of course I know Open Office, which Libree Office was, once upon a time.
But I never seen in any shape of form Free Office. I couldn’t find even Wikipedia article about them. Their website looks dull to me. What is it all about?
Me, I’m looking for a way to fool people that claim they need Windows when they need browser and Office by installing Linux (possibly with some similar looking shell) and some Office suite that looks very similar. Is Free Office that thing?
- Daril 3y agoFreeOffice exists since many years. It is free for personal use. It is a light and complete office suite. It is a good alternative to LibreOffice, also if not so rich in features.
- walteweiss 3y agoJust tried to install it from AUR, and it didn’t run on my Arch Linux system. `$ freeoffice-textmaker` Critical System Error: Unable to open X Window display. <:0> I assume it doesn’t support Wayland. And I don’t support X, I don’t use it and if an app doesn’t work on Wayland, I won’t use it. May be useful for someone else, who doesn’t tolerate Wayland being unsupported.
