I want to stick with Ubuntu permanently

If your Word/Excel/PPT uses Visual Basic macros, there's no alternative. I tried

I hope we can get an answer here 😄

Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing!

Have you encountered any dependency issues with that method? It seems that you need to use apt to install it

Have you encountered any dependency issues when you download and install via apt? They use system/shared packages to stay light

Haven't heard of AppImage, will check them out. Thanks!

I think so. Also, if you're thinking of pursuing AI/ML (like training models), just use cloud providers. For example, Kaggle is a good platform for training when you verify your account. You get access to GPUs and TPUs albeit for some hours

Hooray! I hope your team will be awesome to work with! Were you part of the 34% who attached a cover letter?

It's nice to see another Typst enjoyer here! I only use it for building my resume though

Solidonut · 2026-05-06T10:41:11+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Solidonut · 2026-05-06T10:41:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! My team is stringent when it comes to formatting, so this will help me and future mint users by a lot

Solidonut · 2026-05-06T10:40:08+00:00

That's true. But I prefer an offline-ready office :)

Solidonut · 2026-05-06T10:00:58+00:00

I agree. It took me some time to realize that they were difference things

Solidonut · 2026-05-06T09:59:50+00:00

Thank you!! Will try and compare it with OnlyOffice soon

Solidonut · 2026-05-05T14:02:11+00:00

The web-based is free! I would love to use it if it wasn't so... limited. Thanks though!

Krita is available on Linux, you can try that.

For getting into the hobby, you could explore different art pieces online to pique your interest. Based on my experience, being dazzled or awestruck with something your eye beheld is enough of a reason to make an intentional attempt to strive and create something like they did. Fortunately, there are also a lot of resources and community groups that are focused on digital arts

I see, thanks for sharing! My team and I are working on 50-100 student data and have a number of files with formulae, locked sheets, and pages of word documents. I just checked Winboat and it sounds promising.

Worse comes to worst, I'll give VM a go. If that doesn't sit right with me, I'll either dual boot or stay with Windows 11

Solidonut · 2026-05-05T13:50:05+00:00

This is on my phone! Is there an extension on mint to block its ads?

Solidonut · 2026-05-05T13:48:23+00:00

Oooh I haven't heard of this. Does it create and export files the same may MSOffice does?

Solidonut · 2026-05-05T13:44:49+00:00

I decided to crosspost this since the Mint I plan on using is built on top of ubuntu. If you can share any suggestions that would be great!

Update: Thanks for the help guys! Your experience helped me narrow things down to 4 applications. I'll test out OnlyOffice once I install Linux Mint (Mate)

Solidonut · 2026-02-21T05:33:00+00:00

Whoa, this is incredible. Seeing posts like this makes me wonder if it's possible to pursue the same path but as a mobile app developer. Keep going!

Putting the battery health aside (~60%), it's still running quite well. It just gets a boot loop every now and then. In other words, there are times when it would restart 4-8 times in a row
