      Onlyoffice and libreoffice’s interfaces are night and day. Libreoffice gives more control though.

        Nnnothing?

        It’s not connected to LibreOffice in any way, though, aside from the first five letters of their names.

            LibreOffice still includes some Java code, which creates performance bottlenecks. And, as u/Hawke points out, OnlyOffice and Euro-Office are web/cloud based, enabling better collaboration and more dependable access and storage.

    But what are they using to replace Copilot/Gemini?

    If the answer is “Nothing…”

    … they may end up becoming really popular really quickly.

      You had me at “nothing”.

      I do use the add-on Grammarly in Word. I would very much like to still have that.

      I wonder if they will add support for it.

      That’s the only thing really keeping me using word. Plus right now I’m still a student and the university pays for my subscription.

      Once I graduate I won’t be paying their ridiculous subscription.

    I’m glad they are shipping it after all the drama.

    For the rest of us if you don’t mind closed source softmaker office is from Germany and its not failed on any word document I’ve thrown at it.

      I tried to like softmaker. However I use a Dvorak keyboard layout and they could not get keyboard shortcuts to work with non qwerty keyboards. Finally ended up abandoning them. On libreoffice now.

    This seems like a really good thing for the world.

    OnlyOffice is actually really good. And all of the worst things about it are the things they say they are fixing.
