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.

So I use both for work... Libre for most things, but for spreadsheets or powerpoints that are a bit more complex, onlyoffice works/looks better.
I just prefer the looks of OnlyOffice, but I have heard people having localization problems with it. For my tiny use cases it has worked good so far.
isn't onlyoffice as a service only. can it be installed as just a local application?
No it's a local application like Libre. Can also be ran in the cloud.
Man if Libre peeps and OnlyOffice UI/UX devs joined forces, we would be living in the year 3000.
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 🔥
I assume you mean OnlyOffice
Btw, There's about 4 UI's with two variants each in view > user interface.
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.
