Comment on Microsoft Office support in Windows 10 ends in October too - what that really means

Or OnlyOffice. It lacks a lot of features but is an easier sell in a lot of cases because of the much more modern interface.

onlyoffice was on my list, but the privacy rating was a dealbreaker for me.

  Wow, that’s super disappointing but not incredibly surprising. The developers don’t seem as transparent as other projects I’ve interacted with.
  
  I always install from their github, which I speculate (assume? hope?) does not include these trackers because they would be visible. Is there any way to reliably find out?

    app manager can scan the APK for trackers and other program libraries. it won’t work reliably though if the app has been obfuscated

Libreoffice with the ribbon interface looks about the same to me.

OnlyOffice is basically an electron browser app IIRC which is why the performance is so poor.

  It’s a trade-off for sure, but they’re both free/FOSS. So it’s worth test driving both.
  
  I used primarily open office and Libreoffice 10-15 years ago and it was dated then but competitive. Trying it this year left me feeling like it hadn’t gotten much interface work in that time.
  
  I really wish the team would invest in a serious overhaul that’s long overdue. The back end, especially when it comes to huge files, outperforms onlyoffice by a mile. But for me, only office is faster to use because the navigation is so much easier.
