From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The office format or something else?
About the format; OOXML (.docx etc.) was "standardized" (whole drama here) in reaction to standardization of ODF. But that "standard" relies mostly on proprietary extensions and MS reportedly doesn't fully keep to it anymore, causing repeatedly issues with formating in everything else aside of MS Office/365.
Some more details here.
This is exactly what I was looking for. The more I read it, the angrier I get. The fact that something as simple as a text document format can be force standardized, monopolized, and overcharged for is ludicrous. All because of a proprietary extension loophole.
Thank you for the info.
