WPS Office For Linux

There are many reasons why one might want to ditch Microsoft Office for other alternatives. You may not like Microsoft Office, or you might find it as a package way too complex for your needs, or the price might be way too high for your budget.

WPS Office is one such alternative and, even though it has various plans (Free, Premium, and Business) that offer most of the features one might expect from a modern office suite (including synchronization features, cloud storage, and so forth), they're not available for Linux computers.

WPS Office for Linux is a very good Microsoft Office alternative for users who don't require all the advanced features mentioned above.

All your documents are stored and edited locally, and the app is fully compatible with all Microsoft Office formats such as doc, docx, dotx, wps, wpt, txt, rtf, ppt, pptx, pps, ppsx, pot, potx, dps, dpt, xls, xlsx, xlt, et, ett, as well as PDF and html.

It's compatible with Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Mint, Knoppix, and some other Linux distributions, and it supports both 32 and 64-bit system architectures. Last but not least, it's available in 10 different languages.

Image Microsoft Office from the time before Office 365 was launched, and that's pretty much what WPS Office is. The suite is comprised of four main apps: WPS PDF, WPS Writer, WPS Spreadsheets, and WPS Presentation.

The Writer app allows you to work with Microsoft Office formats, insert photos, tables, and charts into your documents. It also provides a set of decent text editing tools.

The Spreadsheets app provides all the basic tools one might expect and allows you to work on financial and statistics-related projects, while the Presentation app allows you to create complex presentations.

As mentioned before, it all depends on what you need from an Office Suite. If you require synchronization features, cloud storage, real-time collaboration features, and integration with other services, then you might want to look elsewhere.

On the flip side, if your work mainly revolves around dealing with documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, then WPS Office is quite suitable.

The general look and feel of the app are also really good. The app looks like a modern Office Suite, it's very lightweight, and it even provides you with various ways to edit and manage PDFs.

WPS Office is without a doubt a very interesting alternative to Microsoft Office.
