	hardware	software	pros	cons
1	Pinephone	Abiword	usable	– developement stopped 10 years ago – flexibilty to control app over keyboard short cuts & menus is poor
2	Pinephone	Gnumeric	usable	– developement stopped 10 years ago – flexibilty to control app over keyboard short cuts & menus is poor
3	Pinephone	Word 97	– full formerly used desktop software – detailed video instruction with 3 parts available (1*)	– developement stopped 27 years ago – flexibilty to control app over keyboard short cuts & menus is high
4	Pinephone	LibreOffice	– contemporary full desktop software	– Not usable on the 5.5 inch Pinephone screen – only usable on an external HDMI monitor
5	Android phone	Softmaker Office Android app	– Offers the full desktop functionality – still developed further – touchable	– Softmaker Office for Linux and Windows is not free – why to pay for an app if LibreOffice is free?
6	Rasbperry Pi zero 2 w	LibreOffice	– Rasperry Pi OS & desktop & recommended software which can be downloaded through Raspberry Pi imager includes LibreOffice & works – A first test showed that a 7 inch screen is sufficent that LibreOffice is usable	– the zero 2 w has only 512 MB Ram can be opimized by choosing DietPi as OS, tweaking with ZRAM
