I’m afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it’s the same software they heard about back in 2010.

What happened to Openoffice?

Oracle bought and ratfucked it.

I still use it sometimes.

I would recommend switching to LibreOffice, it is definitely more performant and modern.

Oracle happened. pcworld.com/…/why-you-should-ditch-openoffice-and…
Seriously, fuck Oracle with a rusty rebar. They already ruined mysql.
mysql -> MariaDB OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

Oracle happened to it
All the devs went to LibreOffice after that

They were bought and made for profit.

Libreoffice doesn’t have read aloud feature which makes it useless to me. Neither did openoffice. Windows stil only program with it. And I use it for editing purposes.

Is it not the same software they heard about in 2010?

It was discontinued in 2011. Anything that is out there today is outdated at best, and malicious at worst.

… so it is precisely the software they heard about in 2010

Oracle bought (and quickly killed) it. It’s not under active development, and anything that claims otherwise is likely malicious. LibreOffice is a lot of the original OpenOffice devs who got fed up with the way things were going, and jumped ship.

It literally is.
