    I am all for this, but have you ever tried Libre office? Omg this thing is like old soviet car: it’ll bring you to your destination point but at what price… I needed it mostly for small writing stuff and Word was fine for that. After Libre I tried Obsidian and it worked perfectly. It just knows what you want to do and it is smooth, predictable and everything makes sense. In LIbre I could not figure out for about 30 mins how to write OP without it changing it to Op.

      LibreOffice can be very customizable. I made it look and function very similar to Word. Also there is an online forum and faq on which users help each other.

        It might be, but I’d prefer if it would work predictably out of the box. Other things can do that, so it is not like I am asking for miracle. G**gle docs definitely behaves different from Word but I never had any troubles with it, and no customization ever needed. Why tf program decides what I am trying to write? Yeah, I can undo that but it is CTRL+Z ??? It’s like changing the hands position and breaking typing flow. Why not just Backspace to undo suggested change?? Ctrl+Z is to undo what USER done, not machine. edit: it is so stupid and unlogical that i am getting angry again :D

      Try CryptPad then.

      There’s also OnlyOffice, but I don’t use it because it may be from a Latvian office with ties to Russia.

      LibreOffice also has a setting to make its interface more similar to that of Office.

        Interface is fine. It’s just those small things that suddenly do not work as you expect. I’ll give Libre second chance sometime later if I will need to do bigger text. I invested my 30 mins already and it is too late to cut my losses /s
