Hey everyone, student here trying to build projects without spending money on expensive software  
Currently using:

Trying to avoid sketchy office crack or random microsoft office download sites now after bad experiences. Would love recommendations for genuinely useful free dev/productivity tools.

Hi all, Curious what brought people here to ONLYOFFICE in the first place 😅
For me it started after getting tired of:
heavy Office installs
random microsoft office download issues
lag on my old laptop
Now I mostly use ONLYOFFICE for assignments and PDFs. What was your reason?

Trying to fully move away from the whole office crack cycle and use proper free tools instead.
 
Right now I’m testing:
LibreOffice
WPS Office
 
LibreOffice feels more open/privacy-friendly, but wps office sometimes handles DOCX formatting better for me What do people here actually recommend long term?  Best practices would be really appreciated!

Hi everyone, Maybe I’m just getting older. But it feels like people now prefer:
subscriptions
browser apps
cloud workflows
SaaS everything
 
Meanwhile older workflows were more:
local installs,
microsoft office download,
offline files,
manual backups
 
Curious how people here see the future of software ownership

Hey everyone, mostly looking for automations around:
 
Excel/data cleanup
document workflows
OCR/PDF tasks
repetitive admin work
 
Trying to build a cleaner workflow beyond just microsoft office download and manual edits  
What tools are actually worth learning long term? Thanx in advance

Curious what tools IT folks consider essential on every PC.
Could be:
backup tools
PDF apps
office suites
remote desktop tools
diagnostics/utilities
 
Trying to build a cleaner setup instead of my old office crack and random forums workflow
 
Would appreciate recommendations from long-time users.
