"I've been using open-source software for a very long time. In fact, the last time I didn't use open-source software, Bill Clinton was president of the US. Open-source software is available for nearly every operating system on the market, from desktops to phones, and I often find open-source apps are superior to their proprietary counterparts. If you're a Windows user, you don't have to remain locked into closed-source software, because there are so many alternatives from which you can choose."
"LibreOffice has been my go-to office suite since way back when it was a twinkle in the eye of StarOffice, and I haven't looked back since. LibreOffice includes all the tools you're used to in an office suite and even includes a database component (similar to MS Access). And with a customizable user interface, you can work with a modern UI or one that recalls the days of yore."
Open-source software offers free alternatives for nearly every computing task on Windows. Many open-source apps match or exceed proprietary counterparts in capability and privacy. Users can install local office suites like LibreOffice that include document, spreadsheet, presentation, and database tools and support MS Office formats. Launcher tools such as Flow Launcher provide fast file and app search with customizable hotkeys and plugin support. Open-source apps eliminate dependence on third-party cloud services when installed locally and allow flexible UI customization. All recommended tools are free to download and install on Windows.
