Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource

    LibreOffice may not be the prettiest or the most stable, but dammit, it gets the job done

      OnlyOffice is good too if you want a more modern interface.

          It’s free and open source. Someone could always fork it. I have been using OO.o and LO for years now but lately found that OO is better overall.

          https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE

          russian government and entities closer to it would use MyOffice (МойОфис). But usually russian organizations can choose any foss solution: LibreOffice, OpenOffice and, of course, OnlyOffice.

      LibreOffice’s UI is fine on Linux, on Windows not so much. OnlyOffice is a good alternative for Windows

        I think it’s better on Windows. It feels like a good old school Win9x app
