minus-squareWrdlbrmpfd@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·6 days agoI 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.
