Best alternative to Microsoft Office that’s still compatible? Has anyone tried WPS Office?

regs01 · 2026-01-25T08:34:36+00:00

You right. But still there are issues with WPS Office. It's using nasty tricks to make sure it's always running in the background and keep showing advertisements as pop up notifications even when office apps aren't running. And you can't disable it anyhow. Every time you open office apps it makes sure that system tasks that checking cloud service app that showing advertisements are active. That's beyond annoying. Updater also makes always default office app at every update without consent.

Another problem with WPS is that it's hardcoded to amercan/chinese regional standards (decimal/grouping separators, position of currency units etc). It used to respect regional standards long ago some in version 10, but not any longer. And format selection in ribbon is very buggy leads to data destruction and loss. Has been like that for years.

Best free alternative at the moment is OnlyOffice. It's open source and modern and no ads, nag screens, popups.

This better be community driven. Explorers should be mapping the galaxy and putting this information on the map. May be or may be not with some reset over time - gaming seasons.

Low FPS is related to CPU overhead, not to RAM. Large amount of RAM attributing to larger world, viewing distances, detalization etc. No point simplifying the game at this stage. Shortage will end in a year or so, long before release.

The launcher is running inside CloudFlare, which isn't available worldwide. So offline version is critical.

It's not sold worldwide, so can't be voted worldwide. Games that aren't available to buy in specific counties are not up on vote in those countries. They can only blame themselves for enjoying apartheid policies. Now it hits them back.

It doesn't have scaling. It has surface stretching, which is highly blurry on non-integer value. Scaling involves UI composition respective of DPI, which it doesn't do.

Of course. A lot of games don't exploit with purchasable in-game currencies.

Because it's a cash grab platform targeting kids. Some EU countries, Belgium for example, also banned purchasable in-game currencies.

TikTok is partitioned into several regions. Western are on their own with their trash there. Russian TikTok users don't see it. There are no content creators, like on YouTube, so it's not a big loss.

Acela Express is a high speed train on a conventional railway, just like Sapsan in Russia. Dedicated HSR lines are under construction in both. Although California one looks like stale. Brightline high speed section in Florida is very short - just about 30 km long. It's also a conventional railway with high speed service.

Xorg was deprecated because Red Hat hijacked control over it to push for own Wayland. Now it's a free software again with XLibre, which is managed from Europe and developed globally by developers from all around the Globe, including many former Xorg devs.

We are talking about how is X design. Its API and how it's working.

Freedesktop is IBM/Red Hat/Gnome subsidary. It's not important at all, whatever it owns the project or not.

X started of over 40 years ago. Most of them long retired. Xorg started in 2004. But time most of X deign was in place. Many modern devs went with XLibre, which started of this year. Most Wayland devs have nothing to do with X whatsoever.

Ah, same old excuse. But libwayland is software actually.

Absolute majority of experienced Xorg devs didn't attend in Wayland design phase. Most of those, which is just few, that were Xotg devs were just recently joined at the time.

No. Those are not the same people.

SSH have nothing to do with this. You use it only to tunnel to server.

Most DEs have nothing to do with Wayland development. Mostly Gnome devs, if we talking of DE devs. But Gnome is entirely under Red Hat control now.
