      LibreOffice is just a fork of OpenOffice

      Yeah, but it has been forked in 2010 and Open Office final release was in 2011, there are like 15 years of updates

        Ah fair enough. I assumed they kept up with each other. Anyway the point stands - LibreOffice is nowhere near MS Office, or even Google Docs really.

          @FizzyOrange @Axolotl_cpp Only reason in favor of MS was OneNote. Then MS cloud lost my Office 2019 files (Oh, your local OneNote files are links to that cloud, so you lose everything).

          Using LibreOffice since. Does what is has to do, fast, reliable, never encountered lesser functionality. In my personal cloud. Free. With my own backups. Using Obsidian to replace OneNote.

          p.s. Google docs… That’s sarcasm, isn’t it?

          I never had any problems tbh, were you on the latest release? It could also have been a one time bug duh

          Also, i suggest OnlyOffice it has a nice UI and does some things differently IIRC

            A fairly recent version IIRC. May have been a one time bug but it was a pretty hilariously bad one. At the very least it shows poor quality control.

              poor quality control

              I mean, it’s something very little that can go un noticed, it’s unrealistic to think that every single bug can be noticed, it doesn’t happen with corporate software, imagine with open source

                Indeed, but animating bulleted lists is like the most common thing people do in presentation. The fact that they didn’t notice it… It’s like if your compiler miscompiles printf.
