Why libreoffice instead of OnlyOffice or NextCloud?
Maybe they don't want to move to a cloud-based system.
I don't want a cloud-based office package, and I can imagine that the same might apply to them.
Maybe because OnlyOffice is Russian-made and cannot be guaranteed safe
It’s open source….
Not a silver bullet. This is a deep rabbit hole.
They noted that it cannot be guaranteed safe. You can clone a specific version, and perform security audits on that specific version before deployment. Is it a lot of work? Yes. But it is indeed possible.
Libre is the GOAT
Yeah, OnlyOffice is a lot closer to the MS experience which would make it easier for people to transition.
I use both and usually prefer OnlyOffice.
Nextcloud Office is just Libre Office via Collabora though...
Personally, I missed the shortcut Ctrl + D too much in OnlyOffice sheets, but does it really matter?
