This Microsoft Office alternative evolved from the original OpenOffice. It’s a free open-source office suite, built with an ethos of sharing and collaboration. With a word processor, plus spreadsheet, database, and presentation functions, among others, this office tool is designed to help you easily create professional, well-structured documents.
The latest version features improvements to dark mode so you can adjust the brightness of the interface, the ability to include data tables in charts, and better performance and compatibility all around.
LibreOffice best features:
The user interface is very clean and easy to use
It’s compatible with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, as well as Open Document Format (ODF)
You can export to a wide range of different formats, including PDF files
It’s built on free and open-source software, so you can use it, share it, and modify it to suit your unique needs
LibreOffice limitations:
It doesn’t offer technical support unless you buy a LibreOffice-based solution from one of their partners
There’s no built-in email program like Outlook at this time, so it can’t completely replace Microsoft Office
