500 million users. Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean an alternative doesn't exist.

Issue is, the WPS office suite is more bloated with ads than even Microsoft's offerings are, and, overall, is quite a doozy to navigate.

If you want a true and good alternative, I'd recommend ONLYOFFICE[1].

WPS Office is Chinese. OnlyOffice is Russian.

Those really only exist because of Western tech sanctions.

OpenOffice is no longer actively developed. It was replaced by LibreOffice quite awhile ago.

It's not going to be a valid alternative in the west - certainly not something any government would even consider.

"alternative" is doing a lot of lifting here.

While more efficient in some areas, it's missing a lot of quality of life tools plus legal/compliance/security tooling.

While there does not seem to be a maintained snap or flagpole package available, the company behind WPS Office releases DEBs and RPMs it seems: https://www.tech2geek.net/how-to-install-wps-office-on-linux...
