At the time, it was a pretty big deal because I was about to embark on a crazy journey into the unknown. However, I wasn’t totally going out on a whim here.

Open-Source Alternatives

Another plus is that it can open .docx files pretty well too (great since every professor uses them). After a couple of years of usage and knowledge collection, I began to ask myself a new question. Can Libre Office run in a Docker container?
