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.

Onlyoffice is said to have better compatibility with MS Office so that may be worth a try.
Hmm. It’s proprietary but I have to get my work done…
It's actually not. It's open core (a.k.a. 80% open source with its AGPL licenced community edition and proprietary with the enterprise edition that adds a bunch of stuff on top)
"open core" is pretty much "proprietary, but we won't call it like that, we will also sue you if you use our code"
I didn’t know that, thanks. I’ll try it out
I can’t trust ChatGPT really
Onlyoffice is under AGPL-3.0-only. It is not proprietary.
I thought it was open ~~but I could be wrong~~ looking at their website it says the code is available on github
