Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
It is pretty much the same as 20 years ago. That is, good enough for basic use cases but nowhere near as complete as MS Office. It isn’t a serious program for professional use.
LibreOffice is good. Very good even. I just wish Calc always had a 1-to-1 feature parity with Excel for it’s formulas, it would make it so much easier to collaborate on a spreadsheet with others. I think I had to wait a few years on e.g. XLOOKUP.
I don’t know what LibreOffice was like when y’all formed your opinions on it 20 years ago, but right now it’s pretty much perfect

Laughing Out Loud at you
Don’t laugh too loud, you’ll make LibreOffice Base crash somehow.
Wouldn’t you like that, professional Word monkey?

It’s true, Excel specifically is head and shoulders above anything excel-like.
It’s not. Installed and tried last month. A bug that’s older that many people here with Fullscreen is still present.
