LibreOffice is just as good nowadays
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.
isn’t openoffice the better one or is the jury still out on that one?
i dunno, I just wordpad everything
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.
All the cool kids are using military-grade, open-source productivity tools now
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.
