      No, LibreOffice is way better nowadays.

      And that is mainly thanks to MS Office having gotten way worse than before.

      There is a long standing problem where LibreOffice becomes very slow when adding images. That hasn’t been fixed, last I checked.
      But thanks to MS Office now being slow all the time and also taking up way too much RAM, meaning that opening 4-5 Word+Excel documents on 8GB RAM means you are constantly using the page file (my exp. with Office 2015 back then), LibreOffice’s problem is not a big deal any more.

      Your experience might not match what I am saying, because I am comparing MS Office on Windows vs LibreOffice on Linux.

      LibreOffice is based on OpenOffice but OpenOffice is basically abandoned with every few updates or improvements over a good handful of years now. LibreOffice is generally seen as the successor and I wouldn’t be surprised is OpenOffice just gets archived.

      Fun fact about military-grade.

      It means jack shit. It’s a marketing buzz word, and should be illegal to use in commercial sense.

        It generally means the cheapest option with the simplest possible operation that does the job well enough.
