I run a Microsoft 365 killer suite off my laptop, and it's good enough to replace my cloud subscriptions

A person has found a self-hosted suite of free and open-source software (FOSS) apps that they run on their laptop, which they say is good enough to replace their cloud subscriptions. According to XDA Developers, they initially started self-hosting as a hobby to deploy containers, but it ended up saving them money and improving their privacy.

The FOSS apps used for productivity are light enough to run on old machines without performance issues, making them suitable for repurposing outdated hardware, XDA Developers reports.

There is no further information on the specific software used or its capabilities.
