i switched to Linux Mint as well. I really don't want to use any big tech garbage anymore. They will lure you in with a cheap offer and then when everyone is aboard it's time to raise prices and start the enshittification.

Thunderbird is also a very good alternative to Outlook.

I steered away from cloud services as long as possible and it seems i've made the right choice by keeping it local to my NAS.

OnlyOffice is Russian and "headquartered" in Latvia.

And they have a Russian version that they named after the first nuclear ICBM...

[-] daddy32@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

No no, Latvian, but that is just a ruse. Development happens in russia.

Last time I tried FreeOffice it had an important feature missing on Linux (and maybe Mac ?idk): you can't write formulas and equations
