Hi all,

What fast but functional document editor do you recommend? I would like to add custom fonts and do some page layout work, but otherwise nothing too fancy.

Suggestions?

      Do you have any experience installing only office?

      I’ve tried installing it many times over the past decade with only one successful attempt about a decade ago.

      Every few years I try to install it again and fail

      I’m trying to install it now but again, nothing. I’ve tried installing it using the official scripts which wreck the operating system. Dame for using the official debs.

      So I tried using the docker version and that just doesn’t do anything at all. I try opening the page on the right port and it connects and disconnects immediately.

      I’ve used only office and it’s awesome. However, nothing is as hard to install as onlyofffice

      As long as you’re okay with an interface that slavishly clones the terrible MS-Word ribbon bar.

          I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs seems to be the first and only one that actually put some new thought into how to organize their toolbar, so that’s my go-to.

          Edit: thinking a little further, my other go-tos are Overleaf or Typst. Those do require that you be okay with a non-wysiwyg editor of course, but they are excellent.
