LibreOffice

Open-source productivity software

LibreOffice is a free, open-source office software suite offering word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and other tools.

It emerged in 2010 as a fork of OpenOffice and has become the standard alternative to Microsoft Office for users who want capable productivity software without licensing costs: Most Linux distributions ship with LibreOffice preinstalled.
