Installing Libreoffice

Libreoffice is the total office package that can do everything and open anything

Install it if you ever come across office documents.

sudo pacman -S libreoffice-fresh

if you need a different language than English also install the language packs you need

Exectute the following command, be sure to replace nl with your own country letters.

sudo pacman -S libreoffice-fresh-nl

Installing Spell correction

If you need spelling correction you can install Aspell or Hunspell or both

I would suggest using Pamac for this because you can easily see what languages are available. Just open it and search for aspell or hunspell, or both.

Enable Printing

Surely not everyone needs this one, But if you need a printer install cups with the following command

sudo pacman -S cups cups-pdf

Enable the service

sudo systemctl enable --now org.cups.cupsd.socket

The print server should be running, you can configure it by going to http://localhost:631 and just following the wizard.

There is a possibility you need custom drivers, In that case look for your printer in the AUR, it is very likely they are in there :)

Install GIMP

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an amazing photoshop like tool that can do about everything with images, It might be a bit overwhelming at first, but just look for tutorials if you want to accomplish a specific task.

Install it with the following command

sudo pacman -S gimp

Install Inkscape

Inkscape is also a very powerful tool, Instead of raster images it tackles vector images, Which is great for designing logos and other stuff that needs to be infinitely scaleable.

Install it with the following command

sudo pacman -S inkscape
