FreeOffice Suite Review Video
FreeOffice is an office application made by SoftMaker, a company based in Germany. Taking inspiration from the WPS Office Suite Review video, I decided to make my own video reviewing the application. For some, swapping out Microsoft Office may be a viable option. Founded in 1987, their suite includes these alternatives:
- Instead of Microsoft Word for documents: try TextMaker
- Or instead of Microsoft Excel for spreadsheets: try PlanMaker
- Finally, instead of Microsoft PowerPoint for presentations: try Presentations

Software Compatibility and Features
Windows, Mac OS, and Linux are supported for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. They also have versions for both Android and iOS. Unfortunately, I do not have information on whether or not this will work on a Raspberry Pi. Regardless of the operating system, this is a satisfactory alternative. Consider checking out the suite yourself to see more features. In the end, the user knows what’s best. Play around to see if it meets your requirements and needs.

FreeOffice: A Manjaro Linux Debacle?
Manjaro Linux, my current distribution recently had a debate to include it in their OS. Manjaro Linux is a Linux distribution that focuses on the user in terms of accessibility and simplicity.
Outraged, the community argued about keeping it as a default in their distro1. Evidently, the drama eventually caused the developers to relent. Now, users are able to choose whether or not to install it on their systems.
Conclusion
In conclusion, for those switching to Linux, consider installing Manjaro to use FreeOffice. It comes out of the box when you go to install it. Otherwise, try it out on Windows or Mac and let us know how you felt using the software.
- Some examples of distros include Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and Manjaro ↩︎
