LibreOffice is the GOAT of office softwares
I’ve had many bugs with it (like dark theme that seems completely broken)
Me too, so I just switch to light mode and deal with my eyes burning
And I have to change my OS settings because modifying the theme in libreoffice’s settings doesn’t work (Linux) 😵
I use KDE and just reverse all the colors with a configured Custom shortcut.
Without a doubt. Very good MS Office compatibility now, alongside a user interface that gets me to what I need and is heavily customisable, and very well done integration with Zotero (the best thing ever for citations) through an extension comes together to being by far my most preferred office suite even when I have to use Windows. In addition, Draw has saved me at least a few times when I’ve had to deal with some PDFs that other software finds difficult to work with.
Have you ever tried dark mode in libreoffice? Else you would know the truth
Works fine for me in KDE when icons are also set to Breeze Dark. Page goes dark, icons go light, toolbar goes dark.
For sure, definitely one of the best and one of the most remarkable FOSS out there
Use dark mode bruh and truth will reveal itself
How many time do you need to repeat it over the post?
OnlyOffice looks so much better and simpler.
Its slower
What do you people do with a word processor?
How did you test it’s apparent ‘slowness’? I use it and have no issue.
Run it on ancient hardware. If it chokes on computers from the '90s, it’s slow.

If you can’t provide a better reason than a meme you are already out of the running with life.
OK buddy
How is OnlyOffice’s offline performance and support for Graphite smart font technology? I use Graphite fonts and no support for those is a deal-breaker.
No idea. The reason I recommend it it is the far sleeker interface and beginner friendliness. Besides the better looking UI it does not really add anything.
Isn’t only office limited to Microsoft office formats though?
I think you can also export open document style.
It’s never mentioned on their website. I’ll have to install it some day to check it out.
Also, libre office has randomly crashed for me on multiple distros now, while doing really mundane things like… resizing a window or trying to save the document as PDF.
I will second only office. It’s more stable for me.
OnlyOffice crashed for me repeatedly on Debian, LibreOffice did not.
But otherwise yes, I prefer OnlyOffice as well for a much friendlier interface.
LibreOffice just commonly puts mundane parameters God knows where.
Best Office software 🥰
I like how their release announcements always kind of read like press releases. Even when it’s just the third maintenance release for some normal release train.
I like LibreOffice but it needs to allow import/export of hotkey sets or keyboard shortcut sets.
i have tried self-hosting libreoffice with nextcloud and it sucks. can anyone help?
Onlyoffice seems a little bit better.
What about it sucks?
I self-host Collabora Code in Nextcloud and think it’s excellent.
it’s really slow? even on a tailscale connection. Does HTTP/3 would make it better?
It’s really snappy for me behind a Traefik reverse proxy (with HTTP/3) but I got it running on a beefy machine so I’m not sure how heavy it is.
For those who think Libreoffice is the best FOSS software out there, you should try switching to dark mode and tell me how you feel
What point are you trying to make?
That there’s better FOSS software (just generally)?
That there’s better FOSS document editing software?
That you don’t like Libreoffice dark mode?
It looks pretty good to me
Not sure where he is going with that. My only gripe with dark mode is that the equation editor font is also black so it is impossible to see what you are writing. I am sure a fix is around the corner
