- Alaraajavamma from the Pine64 forum uses Abiword and Gnumeric on the Pinephone.
- And jackfish has installed box86/WINE with Word97 in the Pinephone:

- He says LibreOffice has laggy typing on his Pinephone, but Word 97, despite its 20-second start-up, has none, and once the program is up, it’s as robust as anything on the PP. All its features function and it works with the phone’s suspend.
Jackfish is an experienced Word 97 user who used the Gemini PDA Personal digital assistant released in 2018, which has a similar form factor as the Pinephone with the Pinephone Keyboard:
- Word 97 would eventually be the best office software for a 5,5 inch Pinephone screen.
- And also the Pinephone the best device for office application development.
But Pine64 has pulled the Pinephone keyboard from the market and leaves me and Jackfish completely frustrated. Also Jackfish wrote in the Pine64 forum, he bought the Pinephone only because of the Pinephone keyboard.
