"I've been using open-source software for a very long time. In fact, the last time I didn't use open-source software, Bill Clinton was president of the US. Open-source software is available for nearly every operating system on the market, from desktops to phones, and I often find open-source apps are superior to their proprietary counterparts. If you're a Windows user, you don't have to remain locked into closed-source software, because there are so many alternatives from which you can choose."
"LibreOffice has been my go-to office suite since way back when it was a twinkle in the eye of StarOffice, and I haven't looked back since. LibreOffice includes all the tools you're used to in an office suite and even includes a database component (similar to MS Access). And with a customizable user interface, you can work with a modern UI or one that recalls the days of yore."
Open-source applications provide free, feature-rich alternatives for Windows, covering office productivity, search and launch utilities, and more. Many open-source tools install locally, reducing dependence on third-party cloud services and offering greater control over personal and organizational data. LibreOffice supplies a full office suite including a database component and customizable interface, with compatibility for Microsoft Office formats to ease collaboration. Flow Launcher offers fast file and application search through a customizable hot key and integrates web search via the default browser. These tools enable Windows users to improve productivity while avoiding closed-source limitations and costs.
