Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

  If you think LibreOffice is good, then you don’t need to switch. If you have problems with the lack of familiarity of MS Office, then you might wanna check it. Though Collabora recently made a better replica UI, which is technically LibreOffice in a suit.

    Personally, I’m happy with libreoffice and just don’t know about onlyoffice. I’m mostly asking for the benefit of others who might read this thread, but if onlyoffice is good then I might check it out anyway.

  A factor for me is that it doesn’t feel like a Java app carrying around 30 years of baggage with it.

  But there’s other things too

  @glitchdx @ripcord how good are either of them for compatibility with word track changes and comments?! *Really* want to come off MS Word after this but I need collaborative tools.

    I’m happy with openoffice, but I also haven’t needed to open a word doc in years so I can’t speak for the current state of inter compatibility.

      Surely you didn’t actually mean “openoffice”…?

      @glitchdx hmm. I'll have to look into it. Most of the companies I work with are locked into office so I may be stuck with it but it'd be lovely to get rid.
