Thanks Brodie, I love this video! From the good old times a few years into working at #Canonical. #CUPS already used by every distro for several years, but not all apps sent jobs in PDF format yet, several, like OpenOffice (predecessor of #LibreOffice) still sent PostScript, standard of old #Unix times. And printers still needed drivers and some manufacturers made (usually closed-source) ones, and everyone with an integration more awkward than the other ...

Happy Tuesday!

LibreOffice is the best office suite on Linux.

These are the contenders?
1. ONLYOFFICE
2. Apache OpenOffice
3. CryptPad
4. SoftMaker FreeOffice (Non FOSS)
5. WPS Office (Non FOSS)
6. Calligra

1st: Have a look at cross-platform applications that are available on the current platform and Linux, and see if they are good for you (e.g. #LibreOffice, #Zotero, #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #Qoppa #PDFStudio, ...)

2nd: Is your computer/notebook and your printer etc. well supported by #Linux? Check the internet for it.

3rd: After switching: Look first for software in the distribution repositories and not on the websites of the projects. Install it from the distribution if available.

LibreOffice has no alternative because LibreOffice is the alternative.
