Why libreoffice instead of OnlyOffice or NextCloud?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 15 points 2 days ago

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

Not a silver bullet. This is a deep rabbit hole.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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

Nextcloud Office is just Libre Office via Collabora though...

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 6 points 2 days ago

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.

Personally, I missed the shortcut Ctrl + D too much in OnlyOffice sheets, but does it really matter?
