LibreOffice

Switch to a non-enshittified alternative, if you can:

LibreOffice: MS Office suite alternative.
CryptPad: Google Docs alternative, end-to-end encrypted, self-hostable, collaborative, and federated.
OnlyOffice: Another MS Office suite alternative.

Microsoft is killing its useful products to push you onto Open Source products.
Those who just can't get off of its brand are getting alternative cloud products as for consolation.

Subscription fatigue is pushing more people toward alternatives.
