It depends on what you want to do. If you’re a business and need those advanced Excel features, those plugins for your ERP and CRM and your job is to create Powerpoints, then Libre Office will give you a lot of pain. If you’re just some private person who wants to write a letter every few months, is maybe doing some light spreadsheeting to split the costs of a vacation and the only presentation you created was that one for uncle Ralphs birthday last year, Libre Office is totally ok. There really is no reason to pay for MS Office

I cannot express in words how much this tip just helped me.
Thank you so much.
Have you tried interpretive dance?
In a vacuum, it would be a decent replacement.
In fact, MS Office 365 is getting worse every month.
However, the world still can’t seem to stop sucking Microsoft’s cock.So, to turn in an assignment in university, it has to be done in Microsoft Office.
Maybe if you write it in another program, the anti-plagiarism software will accept it, but you don’t know that in advance.
And if it doesn’t, your assignment counts as not turned in on time.And in business, the old saying “no one ever got fired for buying IBM” still holds true.
Other solutions exist, but if the head of the IT department pitches ditching Microsoft, and the project fails, they risk their job.
While simply telling the C-Suite “This is how much licensing costs per year” is the safe option.deleted by creator
Here, they also request PDFs.
But they specifically request them to be created by exporting from MS Office.
The requirement doesn’t come from the uni, it comes from the plagiarism detection service turnitin.deleted by creator
What The actual fuck?
I’m on my last semester of IT and, barring Lockdown Browser, I’ve done it in Fedora. Dual boot for that gawd-awful Lockdown Browser. That said, Libre doesn’t play super nice with all the MS stuff I need to do, so it can be hair-pulling at times. But, well, MS can bite me. I wish that every PC that gets trashed because it’s not Windows 11 compatible got dumped on the front lawn of MS headquarters for them to deal with.
A few weeks ago I asked for a free alternative to MS-Office and Onlyoffice was recommended to me more than Libreoffoce. .
Could somebody tell me more about OnlyOffice, and why I never heard about it? It looks appealing does it work well, and do I have to pay for it?
I have the link to the discussion at the time (but in German): https://feddit.org/post/6270301
