As you know, this will be the final version of LO to have Semantic Versioning; all future releases will have Calendar Versioning.

It still sucks though. It doesn't play nice with dark mode on Windows at all. I've been trying to get away from Google docs and I was hoping Libre would be a decent alternative, but it just feels bloated and clunky in comparison. I really wish it didn't.

If anyone has alternatives I'm all ears.

It doesn't suck, it's just different from what you are used to. Especially the compatibility to Excel-Formulars impresses me.

But of course there are open source alternatives. OnlyOffice is often recommendet if you prefer the Microsoft Office look. I think you could also self host it to make it a real alternative to google docs, but I haven't looked into it.

Avoid Openoffice, it sounds similar to Onlyoffice. It is the predecessor of libreoffice and deprecated.

How much of that is just new users doing their 23rd Arch install?

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably zero, since LibreOffice is a part of the repo.

And so far we’ve had 1,587,383 downloads from our site! (So that doesn’t include Linux distributions that package it themselves.)

I would've almost considered those downloads as reported in some way. Debain does queries into package use. Figured it might trickle down.

It trickles down like that time I peed while doing a handstand.

There is really only one rule when doing the handstand, and you broke it.
