I’d like to process some Microsoft Word documents on my android tab. Do you have any recommendations on FOSS word editors that work with .doc and .docx on android?

Nice! Thanks! As a last resort, I'm considering X11 + LibreOffice on Termux.

Had no idea you can setup a full DE & display server on Termux, must be clunky but really cool

Yeah, it's pretty sweet! There's even a whole sub over at Reddit. But be warned: I once asked politely why they insist on ricing their termux instances - expecting some sincere replies - and I got bullied out of there faster than the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run...

Think about what group of people a word based on "rice" targets?

I'm really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it's that I'm a non native speaker? 😅 Please explain. 🙏 Is it not just a nerdy way of saying "making a Linux desktop environment look fancy"?

"ricing" comes from people "tricking out" Japanese cars by customizing them. I think most people don't think it's saying anything negative about Asians but some people take it that way. I think one similar term that sounds much worse is when people call those same Japanese cars "rice burners". That one sounds derogatory/racist to me
