It’s still being kept barely alive for whatever reason. But it hasn’t gotten any reasonable updates (I think not even including security updates as of recently, see www.libreoffice.org/…/libreoffice-vs-openoffice/ ).

Reygle@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m unclear on the differences between OpenOffice (which I genuinely thought was retired, didn’t realize it was still a thing) and LibreOffice. If it ever gives you trouble, do make the switch.

It’s not gone. It’s still around. Libre is forked from OpenOffice. When Libre was forked, everyone moved to Libre because Open has a lot of issues, which is why Libre was forked.

OnlyOffice, not OpenOffice. This is a different suite entirely. Might be better for people coming from MS Office, since it looks practically identical. Also supports opening multiple files as tabs.

Only office is designed for people who work with MS files. Libre Office is for people who work with open files.

Ah. I tried that a few times and didn’t care for it myself. Weird that my brain thought it saw OpenOffice.
