Does anyone know a good word processing shareware/freeware program? I donât want to give microsoft any more oxygen than I have to. Needs to be able to hold some fairly large files. Compatible with pdf a plus.

LibreOffice is probs the major alternative.

+1 libreoffice is great. PowerPoint replacement is still clunky but word and excel replacements are great

I second libre office. Depending on your needs you may want something more specialised if youâre working on something really big. Scrivener isnât free but itâs made for writing things like research papers and novels.
Thereâs also a program called Joplin thatâs a good evernote replacement

Iâve tried open office, Google docs, libre Office⊠Iâve always seemed to have issues with compatibility when someone opens my file (saved as a DOCX by one of these programs) in Ms Word. Paragraphs will be misaligned, fonts are different, headings not recognised etc⊠Iâve been using OnlyOffice recently. I havenât had any issues yet. Limited fonts though.
