Replacement for MS Office with same or better features

So I didn't prioritize MS Office I bought the laptop initially because I didn't think it was very important since I was from tech background. Realized it very late that it's more important than GitHub for my college. So I don't really want to pay for MS Office because it's expensive for my budget. I'm looking for free replacement of it with the same exact or better features. Please help me out and suggest something. I use a windows 11, i5 processor. Thanks!

Im in an emotionally abusive friendship

So i (F20) have a guy friend (M19). So he proposed to me last year, I rejected him, dated soemone else after that, we weren't talking for a while, then got back talking again, he confessed again a few days ago on my birthday. I rejected again.

The reason why I keep rejecting him: he gets crazy jealous and defensive when I talk to another guy even for academic purposes, hes controlling, has an opinion on everything i do.

So lately, he keeps saying shit like hes doing so much for me, im not doing anything for him, that im not available enough, for info, we text all day. I hate calls. But i still talk to him everyday, everytime we're on call, I think its a waste of time, hours go by, mostly me getting mad at the shit he says. I could instead study, or apply for internships, do soemthing productive. He flirts. I hate flirting with a person im not committed to. He says all the men ive dated got a chance but he didnt, doesnt he deserve a chance? What the fuck am I supposed to say to that? If while talking I dont hear what he says and point that out, he says im being mean. If im online and I dont text him, he gets mad at me for that, he wants to know everything going on in my life, everything that I do, everything that happens to me. Literally, everything. He gets offended if I say I want to watch TV or a kdrama or anime, he says im doing all those without talking to him in my free time or telling him. Hes not my boyfriend, so I feel weird doing all of this, but if I tell him, he gets offended again. All that hurt, ill have to take the heat again. Im sick of all of this shit, he keeps saying he'll kill me if I leave I leave him again, hell no way im scared of that, but its so annoying. I dont ever want to see him again, he doesnt understand shit about me but keeps saying that I dont try to understand him at all. I told him not to keep hopes on me that ill date him or something, but he still makes all those efforts, how is any of that my fault? I dont like him, I dont want to force myself to do something i dont want to, ill be far more miserable if I date him and I know it. I dont want that.

Im going to the third year of my college, I just finished second. Any advice on what I should do now? I know i basically just killed myself the moment I decided to be friends with him again, I shouldve listened to all my friends when they told me I was making the wrong decision. I shouldve listened, i cant take this anymore. I feel like hes expecting the kind of commitment a girlfriend would give him. But im not. Save me.

Any advice or support is appreciated, for criticisms, I hope you're not too hard on me.
