Got .docx/.doc/.xlsx/.xls…display or font problems? Here’s a REAL way out

One of the main things stopping many people from quitting Microsoft’s “OS” for good is its MS Office software — compatibility issues of its documents/files with Linux systems/office software to be exact. I used to be one of those many people, till I found Only Office’s Desktop Editors. The truth is in the running, it’s a real MS Office killer, see for yourself.

Edit 1: After using Only Office’s Desktop Editors for a while, and discovering some of its pros and cons, I searched further for another office suite alternative. I found WPS Office.

Here’s a detailed comparison of Libre Office, Only Office Desktop Editors and Kingsoft’s WPS.

Edit 2: I eventually ended up ditching WPS — compatibility and styling issues with other office file formats. I’ve been using Softmaker’s Free Office for at least a year on several Linux distributions so far, and it’s been working flawlessly. I’d give it a 10/10.
