I Replaced Microsoft 365 With This Free Program, and I'm Happy With the Switch

The writer canceled a long-term Microsoft 365 subscription and switched to LibreOffice.

LibreOffice is a free, open-source office suite with familiar apps for documents, spreadsheets, and more.

It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and keeps files stored locally by default.

The move was driven by lower cost and stronger privacy, though it lacks native cloud features.
