"The most widely used office suite has been Microsoft Office for years. MS Office still exists (in both locally installed and cloud versions) and is still used everywhere. However, with the injection of AI, some people are souring on Microsoft's office suite. If you want a locally installed office suite that doesn't force AI down your throat, you have options. Recently, another option has been released, and it's pretty exciting: Collabora Office."
"If you've ever heard of Collabora, then you may have used its online office suite, which can be self-hosted or used via cloud services. Collabora has been around for some time, but has only recently created a locally installed version of its well-regarded office suite. Collabora Office is based on LibreOffice, so you know it has plenty to offer."
"Collabora Office includes the three apps you need as well as a bonus: Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw. Like LibreOffice, the three main apps (Writer, Calc, Impress) make collaborating with those who use MS Office simple. It supports the default MS Office file formats as well as many others."
Collabora released Collabora Office, a desktop office suite based on LibreOffice, available free for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The suite includes Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw, and supports Microsoft Office default file formats and many others. Collabora redesigned the user interface toward a tab-based layout resembling Microsoft Office to improve feature access. The company previously offered a self-hosted online suite and has now introduced a locally installed option. The release appeals to users seeking an office suite without forced AI features, offering compatibility and collaboration with Microsoft Office users while retaining the open-source LibreOffice foundation.
