Please tell me the difference between Free Office and SoftMaker Standard. I am going to install one or the other on my new computer running Linux

You could use a google search to find....

https://www.softmaker.com/en/comparison-freeoffice-softmaker-office

I quote Todd and Margo:

"SoftMaker Office has two types of licensing policies, SoftMaker Office NX (subscription) and SoftMaker Office 2021 Professional or Standard (lifetime licenses)."

When I read "lifetime licenses" I do NOT read an annual fee for using the software. Perhaps I'm wrong. I hope Todd and Margo will clarify this for me and the
other interested parties who have been commenting on this subject. I would actually rather just buy the Professional version, one time, and have full
capabilities (and the authorization to use it on two or three machines at my house, if possible) rather than settle for a watered-down version like Free Office.
The old policy of offering free answers to simple questions for what was (I thought) good for the life of the purchased software--i.e., at least  until a new version
was issued, was very attractive to me, and would still be. I am unhappy with what amounts to a rental agreement, subject to eviction if you don't cough up a
renewal fee every year.

    If you look at that page you will see (at least I see) 2 large
    boxes.  One labeled "Subscribe" the other 
    "Purchase".
    
    If you want to "Purchase", that is the one-time fee option.
    
    I can't quote you in your currency since my location gives it to me
    in NT$ and I don't think you're
    in Taiwan.
    
    Standard is NT$2,599 and Professional NT$3,299 for a one time
    purchase.
