FreeOffice 2021 - the best Microsoft™ Office alternative for Linux.

The applications in SoftMaker FreeOffice 2021 for Linux comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, making them compatible with 32-bit (x86, 686) and 64-bit (x86_64, amd64) Linux.

SoftMaker FreeOffice 2021 is free to use at home and for business purposes.

IMPORTANT: SoftMaker FreeOffice 2021 and Softmaker Office 2021 are not the same. The first is "free" the other is a paid version.

It has its own native formats, and can read and write file formats of Microsoft Office. FreeOffice 2021 enables you to both open and save documents in the Microsoft file formats DOCX, XLSX and PPTX.

Thus, you can share files directly with Microsoft Office users without having to export them first!

OpenDocument format (word processor only, RTF and HTML.

Support for the OpenDocument spreadsheet (ODS) format was added as a feature in the Anniversary update released for SoftMaker Office 2018.

It can export to PDF and EPUB.

The user interface is similar to the Ribbon utilized in Microsoft Office 2007 and later, and there is an option to use menus and toolbars instead of the Ribbon. A dark mode is available. Documents can be opened as tabs in a single window, to allow easy switching between multiple documents.

Now, don't be disappointed, the free version contains equal and 100% compatible versions of Powerpoint = Presentations, Word = Textmaker and Excel = Planmaker.

You might miss the rest, but most people will not.
