I think that a Marxist society should allow for 0 proprietary software, and instead support for everything in free and open source decentralized technology.

Ah, so some distros, like Ubuntu, are big enough that software companies, like Adobe but not necessarily Adobe, make compatible software? Any chance this includes Word, or is LibreOffice the go to word processor for Linux?

I think Mint has LibreOffice included already.

If not, you have the Software Center app on Ubuntu and Mint. It's like the Windows Microsoft Store: a GUI to browse for installable software.

3rd option is to install it from the command line

No, it's just than when/if some company makes software for "Linux", some of the time Ubuntu is actually the only one they support.

Last I checked, still no Word (except in the browser), so LibreOffice is still the go to.

Ah, that's clearer, thanks.

Well, detest word so I'll be glad to use something else.
