What to do about Office? (lemm.ee)

submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/linuxquestions

I am finding it difficult to fill in forms made with MS Word in LibreOffice. The formatting seems to end up all wrong among other things, and LibreOffice feels slow and clunky to use.

I've tried OnlyOffice, but it tends to crash and be slow as well.

At this moment in time I am trying to get MS Office 2010. Is there a better solution?

Onlyoffice seems to work for me. Which packaging format did you use? (I am using the binary from the AUR) Maybe using a different one solves your problem.

Flatpak

I think I had problems with the Flatpak as well. I think they have a deb and a rpm package. Maybe try one of those. Or tell me the distro you use.

Edit: I think the snap also worked as expected

PopOS for now. Thinking of moving onto something else eventually. Maybe NixOS like on my Desktop or maybe OpenSUSE.

All right here is the link for the website with the deb.
