So Microsoft is now requiring its users to pay about 80$ a year to use Word, which is ridiculous

So Microsoft is now requiring its users to pay about 80$ a year to use Word, which is ridiculous.

I'll probably just use wordpad since its a decent program, but do any of you have suggestions for free writing software?

Google docs
pirated MS Word

LibreOffice Writer

Why would you ever need to use Microsoft Word as a writer?

Libreoffice Writer is just as good if not better than Word, plus it's free. Microsoft is digging their own grave.

Google Docs

That's what a ton of employers are using nowadays anyway, otherwise you'll just be writing in Word, just to have to immediately go upload it to Google Drive.

wolves are based

OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Notepad++ for general stuff.
Scrivener is good for organising big writing projects.

Install GNU software and everything will be o.k.
But first go back to /g/

LibreOffice. But this thread really belongs on /g/.

everyone uses Google Docs now that isn't an old fuck or a corporate drone

Paper?

just pirate it, faggot

For twenty dollarydoos you can buy the Hemingway Editor.

Hey, be nice to the retarded shills.

You only need Office if you're a college student, whose retarded professors vehemently insist on your papers being .docx files. I'm paying per-month for it, and the price includes the whole suite, so it isn't too much of a waste; I just unsubscribe when I take quarters off.

You don't need Office at all to write.

Sublime Text for plain text
