"I've used Linux for so long that I remember when StarOffice and WordPerfect were the best office suite options available for Linux. StarOffice saved my hide several times, especially back in the day when I was working in an office filled with Windows and MS Office users. WordPerfect was the outlier, but man, was it powerful (considering the time). Since then, a lot of companies have hopped on board the Linux train. Others have opted to keep their heads in the sand."
"Those who have joined the fun have delivered some seriously powerful tools that can be employed to not only help you be creative and/or productive, but also collaborative. Also: Want to ditch Windows? This Linux distro makes that transition easy As someone who has written over 70 novels using Linux and open-source tools, trust me when I tell you that Linux has what it takes."
"LibreOffice is the most widely used office suite on Linux. In fact, many distributions ship with LibreOffice preinstalled. This open-source office suite includes all of the tools you need to write novels, create a resume, build a spreadsheet, create and add formulas to documents, draw, and even build and work with databases. LibreOffice is highly compatible with MS Office and can even export to the MS Office formats (as well as many other formats)."
Linux supports a broad range of office suites that serve creative, business, and collaborative needs. Both open-source and proprietary suites are available, with many distributions including a suite by default. LibreOffice is the most widely used option, offering tools for writing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawing, and databases, plus strong compatibility with Microsoft Office formats. Historical options like StarOffice and WordPerfect demonstrate long-standing viability. Multiple companies now produce powerful Linux office tools, and several options can replace common productivity suites while remaining free to install and use.
