From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don't understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It's really unfortunate that it's mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥

Idk, LibreOffice UI seems pretty decent for me.

It's this the new UI? It's been a while since I use LibreOffice and the UI was worse than office 2003.

It's not a default but I just changed it to tabbed view in the settings, picked Sifr icons in the settings, and installed adw-gtk3 theme on GNOME which makes gtk3 apps blend more with the default libadwaita GNOME theme.
