Don’t get trapped by your office suite! Some software vendors are pushing users towards online subscription models – but LibreOffice is different. It's free, it doesn't require registration or yearly payments, and it gives you control over your documents: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2019/08/27/dont-get-trapped-by-your-office-suite/

Who makes LibreOffice? A worldwide community of volunteers and certified developers!
