LibreOffice is what those people need.
LibreOffice is where it’s at, for sure.
I personally like the look and feel of FreeOffice better. Fairly enough, I haven’t used Libre in many years, but it always felt kind of clunky and when I tried Free it was very comfortable and familiar to use, as a lifetime Word-er.

I am one of those users. I use wordpad for prepping my DnD games. MS Office is beyond bloated and slows my pc to a crawl when it’s open. Same with Open Office and LibreOffice if I’m honest. Both hog too many resources.
Guess I’m moving over to Obsidian full time.
Notepad++ is also pretty nice
But it doesn’t do what WordPad does.
Sounds like you need a new pc…
True but I also need food more.
Have you ever tried abiword? It’s really lightweight.
I have not. Haven’t even heard of it. But I will be looking into it. Thank you!
I actually very much doubt wordpad has hurt office sales.
Seriously. It’s insane to think this is a move to increase office market share
I dont think I know any person who uses Wordpad. Most probably dont even know that it exists, hidden away somewhere in the starting menu…
People still sleep on Excel. Nothing else touches it, and your finance department would riot if IT tried any of its “replacements.”
Wordpad has been obsolete since you could open files bigger than 64KB in Notepad. It’s useful for almost nothing.
It’s not like your can’t just install LibreOffice or use Google Docs and be done with it.
They changed their licensing and specifically for robot users so I suspect it’s to funnel those users into licenses which is a lot more than consumers.
