I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

Microsoft Office suite is obviously superior to its concurrents. If it were available on linux I’d use it, despite being about FOSS ideology. Sometimes, non-FOSS can be better alternatives. However, OnlyOffice is still neat and gets the job done.

Ohh can you do Exel-Style arithmetics in Word tables? You can in LibreOffice. Maybe it’s just so widely used no one really knows other Office programs are basically on par with MS Office or even better.

LibreOffice UI is really… well… old. UX is really bad : it’s on par with GIMP’s ideology of “make it as hard as possible to get things done”

You know there are like 7 different layouts built in and you can create custom ones. You can even make it look like world if you like.

It’s a battle they are going to lose in the long run. When you write closed sourge code, you make a bet that you’re better than all available FOSS developers in the field.

Didn’t Excel make a big fuss about python integration when Libreoofice has had that for years?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
