FOSS Microsoft Office for Linux
FOSS Microsoft Office for Linux
Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office for the Linux.
I've already tried:
- LibreOffice (It doesn't have the same experience as Microsoft's apps.)
- OnlyOffice Desktop Editors (I like it)
What else would you recommend?

An underrated feature of LibreOffice is the ability to insert the original document inside a PDF when exporting. If you reopen that PDF in LibreOffice, it will grab the embedded copy for editing instead of trying to guess how to convert the PDF into its original.
That's monstrous. When I send a PDF I don't want it to be editable, if I wanted an editable format I'd use an editable format. Exporting to PDF is supposed to be a digital equivalent to printing.

It really isn't. Even without this feature (that I'd never heard of before) it is a format that is very easy to edit.
If you need PDFs to be tamperproof, you can however digitally sign them. (And then the recipient needs your public key to verify).
It sounds opt-in.
I saved many many documents as pdf via libre office and never encountered this feature, so I'd say so too.
It is.
Which is why it's optional I suppose.
Then don't embed the document in the pdf. Easy.
