I was astonished to find the other day that LibreOffice has no problem opening ClarisWorks files. That is an ancient Mac format that even Apple’s Pages has long since abandoned.
The 90s are calling, they want their UX back.
You can change it to ribbon-style in view > user interface of you want
What’s wrong with the 90s UX? It lets you do your work without being intrusive or annoying, so what’s wrong with it?
Sorry but a word processor that doesn’t trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

So, the problem is that people doesn’t have a working memory anymore, is that so?

But people in the 90s were doing their work just fine, with that same UX paradigm. What’s the difference now?
Just to be clear, I’m not saying that software’s UI and UX doesn’t need to evolve. But it bothers me that a perfectly usable UI gets criticized only because it’s “old” and doesn’t look “modern” (tf is a “modern UI”, btw?).

Instead of thinking of the 90s UI as dated market it as retro and watch hipsters laud it for its classic feel.
Also, there are 7 different UI options to choose from. Maybe try those out and find one that fits you.
With GTK theming, it can look good
I love LibreOffice. Often when it’s mentioned I’ve seen people with the opposite sentiment, but it never caused me any trouble and I really enjoy the small tabs option for the interface.
Microsoft Office has once decided to take my locally created file, shove it somewhere in OneDrive, then revert it to the state it was 24 hours prior - I couldn’t recover the newer version. Guess which software never deleted my files? LibreOffice.
I’ll wait until version 24.7 …
Is there a LibreOffice-like-thing for Android?
Libre office or open office, what do you guys think? I’ve used both from time to time.
Open office has been dead for years now. The core team moved to Libre Office
OnlyOffice is the main alternative to Libre these days.
I personally prefer it because offers better compatibility with the Microsoft 365 documents I need for work.
It saddens me that the best to have compatibility is to never touch MS Office. They are the largest player by far. Subtly fucking up or deviating from open document standards will always be seen as “well, the issue is non MS office”.
Did LO discontinue distribution via torrent?
Edit: torrents are now up. Does it always take a day?
