7/19/2023 0 Comments Freeoffice 2016 vs libreoffice![]() Their user interfaces mimic standard drop-down menus. I regularly use the latest version of LibreOffice and earlier versions of FreeOffice. So I took the free beta release of Office 2018 for a spin to check out the performance of the ribbon user interface. SoftMaker expects to release FreeOffice 2018 for Linux it at the end of the first quarter of 2018. The free version (FreeOffice 2018 for Linux) is not yet available for review. ![]() Previous releases required some 32-bit dependencies to run on 64-bit architecture. The value here is that the free open source and both commercial versions of the 2018 releases are true 64-bit products. So opting for the free versus paid versions of the 2018 office suites might be a no-brainer. When I reviewed SoftMaker FreeOffice 2016 and SoftMaker Office 2016, I found the paid and free versions to be almost identical in functionality and features. The Linux edition has the Thunderbird email management client. Both the free and the paid versions will contain fully functional TextMaker, PlanMaker, and Presentations, just like the paid Linux SoftMaker Office 2018 release. The exact feature list is not finalized yet, according to Sales Manager Jordan Popov. The FreeOffice 2018 release will have the same ribbon interface option as SoftMaker Office 2018. The FreeOffice line is distributed under the Mozilla Public License. A completely free open source-licensed version called “SoftMaker FreeOffice 2018,” will be available soon. It will be priced at US$69.95, or $99.95 if you want a few dictionary add-on tools included.Ĭheck out the free beta of the commercial version. The licenses for both let you run SoftMaker Office on five computers. When the final version is released, two Linux commercial versions will be available. The beta version of this commercial Linux office suite is free. SoftMaker offers a complete line of free and paid office suite products that run on Android devices, Linux distros, and Windows or macOS PCs. You can change your default option at any time from the UI Panel in Settings. On first use, you choose the user interface you prefer.
