Maybe they just don't know any better

Why on earth is OpenOffice here??

LibreOffice is the maintained fork.

It has been that way for 16 years now.

16 years.

There are people working full time jobs who were born the same year that LibreOffice started.

Stop promoting OpenOffice. People will have problems with it that have been long fixed it LibreOffice.

What is only office then?

OnlyOffice was an office suite developed by Sun Microsystems. Oracle stopped development whel they bought Sun. eventually the developers got fed up and founded the Open Document Foundation. oracle threw kind of a hissy fit, then eventually gave up and donated Open Office to the Apache foundation. Apache alleges Open Office is an active project, but they’re just shuffling deck chairs. Open Office is dead, and Oracle killed it. Libre Office is what Open Office used to be, and more

edit: what the fuck is only office?

I think you misread “only office” as “open office”. Though, you typed both in your reply… 🤔
ah shit. you’re right. sr moment. what the fuck is only office?
