Although Ubuntu may have limitations in terms of software and applications, it doesn't mean it doesn't meet users' needs fully. If Office is an icon of Windows, then on Ubuntu, we can install LibreOffice on Ubuntu, Linux Mint. Although the process of installing LibreOffice on Linux is not the same as the Windows version, Ubuntu users will certainly not find it too difficult, especially with the guidance below from Mytour.
Installing LibreOffice on Ubuntu
Installing LibreOffice on Ubuntu, Linux Mint
Step 1: To install LibreOffice on Ubuntu, we'll use a tool similar to Command Prompt or Powershell in Windows 10, which is Terminal. To open Terminal, we right-click > and choose Open Terminal.
Step 2: Once the Terminal interface opens, type the command sudo -i to use Terminal with Administrator privileges.
Note that after this operation, we need to enter the password, and the password will not be displayed, so just type it and press Enter.
Step 3: Next, we proceed to install LibreOffice on Ubuntu. Here, you'll need to enter the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa to download LibreOffice to your computer.
Step 4: If the system asks whether to continue or not, simply press Enter to proceed with downloading and installing LibreOffice on Ubuntu.
Step 5: Type the following command to update the system with sudo apt-get update.
Step 6: After the update is complete, proceed by typing sudo apt-get install libreoffice to download and install LibreOffice on Ubuntu.
Step 7: Prior to downloading and installing LibreOffice on Ubuntu, the system will prompt you whether you want to proceed or not. Of course, you want to proceed, so you'll type Y and then press Enter to agree.
The downloading process will take quite a while, so readers will have to wait and avoid closing the Terminal window.
Step 8: Once you see the line below, it indicates that the installation of LibreOffice on Ubuntu has been completed. Now, you can close it.
Step 9: Open the StartMenu of Ubuntu, and you will see icons for LibreOffice.
For example, Writer is similar to Word in Office.
Or Calc is like Excel in Office.
Or Impress, a name that may be hard to remember but has similar functionality to PowerPoint in Office.
