So Libre Office is free?

If it does what regular office suit does i would happily pay 300 dollars for it to have it as mine and not be fucked with

[–] redshift@lemmy.ml 1 points 42 minutes ago

Free forever, and works great.

the only problem with onlyoffice is that it's electron.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Are you positive?

~~Ehh, I'm fairly sure it's not. It certainly wasn't in the past. When do you believe that changed?~~

Never mind, you were talking about OO, not LO, my bad.

Onlyoffice is apparently Russian, headquartered in Latvia.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

what does it even mean to be russian then?

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Latvia is not Russia, unless something recently changed

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

JFC it can be russian owned and russian controlled and russian employed and pay russian taxes while "headquartered" in Latvia.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Latvia is not Russia

Yet.

And if you look on a Russian map, I'm sure it's there already.

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

What? Latvia is a part of NATO.

I need to try onlyoffice again. The last time I tried, was the original beta, and it was faulty (being a first release beta, and all)

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Oh onlyoffice works great! It's spreadsheet function is far less buggy than excel and it's smooth and snappy.

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 4 points 11 hours ago

OnlyOffice spreadsheet has less functionality than Excel but unless you are a super power user then it's not a problem.

Sweet! I've been using MS at work (required) and Libre at home (because screw MS). I'll give Only another go!
