Office Suit ๐
Word, powerpoint and excel on linux.
# WPS Office โฎบ
The closest from powerpoint I found
Cons
- proprietary
- Linux version can lag behind Windows
- some users dislike telemetry/cloud integration concerns
# Onlyoffice Desktop editors โฎบ
Nice, but missing key feature in impress (like line weight)
# Libre Office
a freely-available, full-featured office suite. - doc
# Tools
- odf-report - Gem for generating .odt files by making strings, images, tables and sections replacements in a previously created .odt file.
- rspreadsheet - Read, modify, write or create new OpenDocument Spreadsheet files from ruby code.
- LibreOffice from the command line - Convert, print, protect, and do more with your files directly from the command line.
- Serenity - You provide an .odt template with ruby code inside a special markup and the data and Serenity generates the document.
# Alternatives
- The Document Editor That You Forgot
- abiword
- onlyoffice
- Libreoffice will eat your document sooner or later if you edit a word file - switch to ods then back to .doc if needed
- To be fair, Word will wonโt eat it, but it will eventually shred it quite well to the point where there is no practical difference.
