With Version 9.0 Release, ONLYOFFICE Becomes an Even Better Choice for Linux Users
Quoting: With Version 9.0 Release, ONLYOFFICE Becomes an Even Better Choice for Linux Users —
ONLYOFFICE is one of two options that comes to mind when I think of a solid Microsoft Office alternative on Linux, the other being LibreOffice. Both offer a range of useful features and support a wide range of document formats.
What sets ONLYOFFICE apart, though, is its focus on collaboration and generally reliable compatibility with Microsoft Office files. With the launch of ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.0, the office suite now introduces a number of new features.

You can see how ‘Modern Light’ compares to ‘Classic Light’ (which remains available to switch back to, for those who prefer it) in the screenshot above.
A redesigned Start screen (shown when opening the app) also features. This sports a lighter and less cluttered looks before, making it easier to start on working on new or existing documents without wading through unnecessary clutter.

ONLYOFFICE v9 Embraces AI » Linux Magazine
It should come as no surprise that nearly every office suite has introduced AI in some form or another, including ones that run on the open source Linux OS. ONLYOFFICE v9 follows the trend with AI-powered virtual assistants.
The AI enhancements in ONLYOFFICE v9 include automatic text extraction for PDF files, smart automation for macros, smart formulas for complex data analysis in spreadsheets, macro creation based on prompts, and conversion of VBA macros to ONLYOFFICE macros.
AI isn't the only addition to ONLYOFFICE 9.0, as you'll find a pair of brand new themes, Modern Light and Modern Dark, that give the user interface some serious polish (note: the classic themes are still available to use). There's also a redesigned Start page, a new Diagram Viewer, support for new file formats (such as Markdown, OpenDocument graphic files, and Excel binary workbook files), drag-and-drop recording of PDF pages, asynchronous calculations in the spreadsheet editor, ability to enable/disable spelling language detection in Linux, and much more. Of course, there's also the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements.
