    What’s rather ironic is my Linux FOSS setup is more compatible than ever because it can open my students .notes and .pages files, while MS Word couldn’t.

    And naturally, I’m proud of using FOSS so I guess I’m proud to be compatible with everything.

      What are you using for .pages? I have .docx covered but have a backlog I planned to convert someday.

        I’ve been using OnlyOffice, although I bet LibreOffice can open them too. That doesn’t convert files unless I save, but it doesn’t seem to me up the formatting either. I used to have to bulk convert using a Google drive plugin, which could help for bulk conversation but isn’t a FOSS solution.
