The Linux Experiment

A comprehensive overview of open-source alternatives to popular proprietary productivity software in 2026. Covers PDF editing (OnlyOffice, PDF Arranger, Papers/Okular), task management (Planify, Super Productivity), note-taking (Joplin, AppFlowy, Anytype, Logseq), team chat (Mattermost, Matrix), email (Thunderbird), and full workspace suites (Nextcloud, Proton Docs, CryptPad, Collabora Online). Also touches on Linux as a Windows replacement and briefly mentions GIMP, Krita, and Inkscape for image editing. All alternatives have Linux clients.
