LibreOffice works for 99.99% of the cases where Microsoft Office is being used. Moreover, NextCloud offers a free "LibreOffice on the web" capability if you prefer.

Oh, BTW. Nextcloud is also nice. Very nice.

Edit: Looks like Owncloud guys have arrived (just joking, I like them equally).




I got access to a NextCloud instance as part of my Hetzner storage.

Setting up access for my wife was easy. Adding "apps" to my nextcloud instance was easy. Sharing storage, playing with a Kanban board, editing documents, it all just works.

I'm very impressed with nextcloud, I had no idea it was so good!


Installing it on a bare metal server is equally easy. Not a walk in the park, but half a day at most, with server optimizations and polish.

It updates nicely too. I'm managing one for ~4 years now, and it's painless.

Nobody calls for me for support either. I think this is, good?
