Not enough people are talking about this free Microsoft Office alternative with minimal AI

"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."

"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. Also: Nextcloud Office vs. OnlyOffice: I tested both to find the best Microsoft 365 alternative Collabora uses a tab-based UI, so accessing the features you need is well organized."

Collabora released a locally installed desktop version of Collabora Office available for Linux, macOS, and Windows at no cost. The suite is based on LibreOffice and bundles Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw. Collabora Office supports Microsoft Office file formats to simplify collaboration with MS Office users. The interface adopts a tab-based, MS Office-like layout to make features more accessible. Collabora previously offered an online, self-hostable office suite and now provides a desktop alternative that avoids forced AI integrations. The release targets users seeking a familiar, privacy-respecting, locally run office suite.
