    I am presently using Windows 10 but if my Laptop caches virus after Microsoft shuts down Windows 10 servers maybe 3-5 years later from now I plan to purchase Linux based laptop.
    I want to know the alternative to Microsoft Office in Linux OS such as Ubuntu which is free of cost and is very popular offering all the features of Microsoft Office but is free in Ubuntu to install and use. Features I am looking for are Spreadsheets, Word and Presentations.

    The main contenders are:
    1. Google Docs which should work because it's browser based
    2. Open Office - but I don't know their Linux support

    My company is mostly comprised of hardcore embedded software developers. They all use Linux, Google Doc's, and Google Mail. I hate those platforms, but that is why I am in sales and marketing using Win10, Office and Outlook. :)

    I think you can check LibreOffice. They have good intrface and free of charge to try out.
