Best Office software 🥰
LibreOffice is the GOAT of office softwares
It’s disgusting how many businesses have been herded into wasting money on products they can be using for free, then convincing customers they “need more money.”
LibreOffice is pretty far from Microsoft Office. Even Google’s suite is more polished. Like it or not, funding behind a project helps build a stronger product.
Libreoffice is not 100% Microsoft word though dawg
Probably better to think of spending their money on an open ecosystem, instead of just using something for “free”. If software products have sufficient funding they can better improve the products and can continue to exist - without some form of monetisation most wouldn’t still be around.
I believe it’s a chicken and an egg problem.
If free software projects had more users, those users would improve the software further with donations, patches, and bug reports.
No.
There is enough LibreOffice users to realize that the curve of the donations over users isn’t proportional.
When was the last time you donated?
Exactly.
I think both can be true. I just mean if we’re talking about a company paying for Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice.
I like LibreOffice but it needs to allow import/export of hotkey sets or keyboard shortcut sets.
