Welcome to this week's casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It's for talking about anything that doesn't justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

The only major sticking point for me is ms office - libreoffice feels like office 2003 and you can never be confident a libreoffice docx is going to look the same when someone opens what you’ve sent them in ms office.

If you haven't tried it already, check out OnlyOffice - looks very similar to MS Office and has great compatibility with it too. I once did a side-by-side comparison with the same .docx running in Word (M365) and OO, and they looked virtually identical (I posted the screenshots sometime ago on Lemmy, if I can dig up the post I'll link it here).

Ah yes I have heard of onlyoffice, it looks great. I had assumed you need a backend given how much it pitches it as an online collaboration tool thing so hadn't gotten around to it. If you can run it locally like a ms office type thing I might check it out soon.

Yep you can indeed run it locally, easiest way to get it is to just install it via Flatpak. If you use Gnome you can use the Software Center, and If you use KDE you can get it via Discover.
