Softmaker Office 2021 for Android was working fine on my Acer Chromebook (with an Intel processor). I even gave it a 5 star review on Google Play back in June. Now, when I try to run it (same Chromebook), It says it was designed for devices with Arm processors, and mine doesn't have one - then it sh...

After some experimentation and general messing about, I've got SoftMaker Office 2021 working perfectly on a Chromebook, and saving and loading files to and from Google Docs.

I'm not really grumbling :-) I was just thinking it would make it easier for beginners to Linux if the software set itself up ...

Is there presently any repository of Softmaker program .deb files for Linux? I'm using Ubuntu (Feisty), and it would be nice to be able to install and upgrade automatically, rather than having to personally juggle icons and commands in order to get it working without the command line. It would make ...
