I prefer Only Office (Desktop Version) to Libre Office, because

  • it does not look like over 20 year old Office 2003
  • it uses docx and xlsx as native format which makes it easier for noobs

I heared Only Office has some Russian connections. Otherwise it still is Open Source.

Onlyoffice uses Electron, which uses an outdated and seldomly updated version of Chromium 😵

It would be good if they could support QtWebengine or WebkitGTK, or if the Linux Desktops could start to support a single webview-like runtime

@Wrdlbrmpfd @FallenWalnut Why don’t you try Free Office? It has a free tier and it’s German.

Seems ok, but it seems to be a dowgraded version from a commercial product. If there is a good Open Soruce product, I prefer that.
