Eh I don’t think it’s that bad and with the dark theme and breeze icons it looks amazing

Oh hey, I’m from Schleswig-Holstein! That’s neat! I mean libre office looks like shit (they probably never saw a UX designer and high DPI scaling has been broken since like forever) but at least its not Microsoft. And if its functionally the same, why not? So yeah, good news!

If you have to tweak it to make it good, it’s bad.

If you go by that logic, most things in FOSS would be considered bad, which is not true.
rikudou@lemmings.world 7 months ago
Well, most things are bad from UX perspective, it’s just that people who use FOSS are used to that.
That’s why only enthusiasts usually use FOSS.
Before you start throwing around the five or so exceptions that exist, I’m well aware, but it’s just that - exceptions.

Damn windows and Mac are dog water then

Both work out of the box really well. Sure, Windows will break inevitably, but it’s usually few months before it does. Office looks really good. And that’s all that matters.
You don’t have to convince me, by the way, I’ve been using Linux for 15 years. But I’ve been in IT pretty much all of my adult life.
Until developers make stuff really good looking out of the box, FOSS will be still the ugly thing no one except IT people want to use.

I use libreoffice on hidpi screen, some even with fractional scaling, and it seems to work fine by default. What are the problems to you?

Writer and Calc look almost identical to ms word and excel on my Debian 12 system… Congratulations by the way, you should be proud of your state!

As someone using LibreOffice at home and MS Office at work (both daily): nope, unfortunately, Calc is pretty shit compared to Excel. It’s enough for my personal needs but I wouldn’t want to rely on it professionally.

Good to know, maybe it’s just the port then and their website (shudders) has been a year or so since I tried it. Yeah, I think it’s a good move and if it convinces other States even better.

Yeah, check it out. I’m not a power user of spreadsheets, so I can’t address what the previous commenter said about functionality but the UI looks good on mine and my girlfriend’s systems. She’s been using Calc to run her catering business for over a year without any complaints, so I would feel good about recommending it.
