In some ways WPS Office reminds me of KDE itself. I can post those if anyone is interested. options to get WPS to visually integrate better into KDE. I'm even considering paying the $30 subscription for the windows version just to show support for this company. But I'm very happy to have found an alternative. It's disappointing that LO has so many people working on it and yet they don't seem to care about basic things such as text spacing and UI. The ribbon is very customisable, and it has some options that even MS Word lacks - such as if you drag an image into a document you can set the default text flow.

And if you make the window large enough horizontally it will automatically switch to showing two pages side-by-side. I'm enjoying all the thoughtful touches, such as if you maximise the GUI the tab bar and window controls combine to the same vertical level giving you more space to work. There's also an 'All in One' mode where presentations, documents, and spreadsheets all open in one window. In LO, even with the new Skia/Vulkan renderer, you get uneven letter spacing all over the place. Documents pop open instantantly (even on my humble laptop), it has a slick modern interface with tabbed UI, and handled the tick boxes in a form from my local dentist which LO ignored.Īnother major improvement is that the font spacing in WPS is perfect. So I grabbed WPS from the AUR (also available through Dolphin as a flatpak) and wow! It's everything I needed in an office suite. Recently I have been going through some old document folders, and was getting tired of how slowly they were loading in LibreOffice, and the general uglyness of the LO interface.
