there too many windows users that want to switch to linux need mc office in their work yes libreoffice is very good but you must try it for a while to know how to use it but i tried a one that is very easy for windows user that want to switch too linux and its ui is very similar to mc office ui and it's very compatible with mc office (as it uses docx and the other mc office formats mainly) it's onlyoffice
i think it's the best alternative because it's ui and compatibility and i used it for a month and now it's my main office app
but there is an one con that its heavier than libreoffice but i am using it on an old thinkpad with 2 gigs of ram and it runs fine not perfect but fine
HOW TO INSTALL
only write this command make sure you have yay
yay -S onlyoffice-bin
or you can install it via the appimage downlaod the appimage from the official site then go to the downloded folder then add
chmod +x DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage
then write this too
./DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage
it will excute it directily and if you want it to appear in your app menu download this
yay -S appimagelauncher
Run the AppImage once → it will ask to “integrate” it into your system
NOTE(i don't tested the appimagelauncher before so idk if it will works fine)
yes i am muslim too and hate microsoft for the same reason and you can tell me what are the programs that you are using windows for i can help you find alternatives because i already use linux without dualbooting i can help you with that
to many of linux users want to try hyprland but there GPUs doesn't support it so they use another WMs like i3WM (that what i'll focus on it)
when you install it you will see that hyprland have more cool features like autotiling and you will be upset but i want to tell that if rice your i3wm with the right way you will get something like this or even better and i will list here some programs that you will need
picom:
picom is a lightweight x11 compositor you can add very good visual effects like transparency, shadows, fading, blur, rounded corners, and VSync
you can install it with pacman(if you using archlinux or distros based on it)
sudo pacman -S picom
then paste this to your i3 config (usually in ~/.config/i3/config.conf)
exec_always picom
or this if glx gives errors
exec_always picom --backend Xrender
and you can edit you picom config file as you want or steal someone config (:]
polybar:
i3statues looks very bad polybar is a panal (i don't have any good definition for it) but if you mix it with picom to make it transparent and add rounded edges it well look peferct and you can edit it too more i suggest to watch tutorials for all one of the tools to know how to use it because i am very lazy to explain how }:])
autotiling:
this is my best one this adds autotiling feature to i3wm and it looks perfect
it's too easy to install just make sure you have python-i3ipc installed you can download it with pacman this is how to downlaod and run autotiling
git clone https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling.git
cd autotiling
cd autotiling
python3 main.py

THE BEST ALTERNATIVE OF MC OFFICE

k that's it thank you for reading
Woah! Your i3WM setup looks cool! But i have one problem, i3wm is x11 not wayland, and i like wayland
that's why i am using i3wm because wayland doesn't work in my gpu
Isn't there a .desktop file?If there is then there is an alternative way to bring it to the application menu
you can only download with yay it much easier but i think yes you can try
I have bad news, Arch linux is under attack.
You can read the article here
are you sure of that i opened archlinux website and it's working fine and pacman working fine too i think it was a fool or it fixed before i tested it
also are you muslim?
I am muslim and i hate microsoft because of it supporting israel
That's iam now dualbooting with windows until i find the best distro
yes i am muslim too and hate microsoft for the same reason and you can tell me what are the programs that you are using windows for i can help you find alternatives because i already use linux without dualbooting i can help you with that
No need, the programs i need are also in linux, for example pycharm community edition, blender, zoom, etc
Is it ok if i move to ubuntu? Will we still be friends?
i think fedora will be better and yes we will still friends
i just need a distro that is aesthetic, has privacy and also immutable.
although i know what it is
k i think the choice is yours
