Let’s back our own EU Tech industry. At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like; • TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows) • ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office) • Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive) Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can! Using this stack or joining this movement? Drop your thoughts or tips below! #europeantech #cloud #digitalsovereignty #executivesearch #gdpr #buylocal Marloes Pomp Techleap TUXEDO Computers GmbH ONLYOFFICE Nextcloud www.andthebigfish.com
They even want to buy computers from @tuxedocomputers and use @nextcloud
Also XING instead of LinkedIn. ;)
What is ONLYOFFICE is that really more popular than LibreOffice?
I think its easier to switch from generally that to LibreOffice, but the company driving OnlyOffice is russian so I’d prefer a community driven project like LibreOffice tbh.
ONLYOFFICE is like where you pay a subscription and some chick will show you her paperclips on a livestream.
They don’t shoot themselves in the foot like LibreOffice and ship the Ribbon theme by default.
The default LibreOffice theme sucks if you grew up with MS Office 2007+.
Also it’s more easy to get support for it. For LibreOffice you either have to know a vendor offering customisation and support, or have to search for it actively on the Website and then choose one of the 3 vendors going to their Website etc…
In the meantime you’ve already purchased an OnlyOffice license for your company with cloud services
Just change the theme, it’s not that dramatic. I used nearly all LibreOffice programs and can’t complain a bit.
Most 08/15 users don’t know that an alternative theme exists. They just see the crappy drop down UI and switch right back.
At least a selection prompt on the first start would be a good idea, instead of burying it in some Menus
I dislike them both, I prefer shlinkedin.com. Albeit it may not be European, I like its sarcastic tonality against corpo-speak far more.
