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.

Tbf I haven’t used either extensively (or at least the features I’ve used in either have been very basic one), but I haven’t had any issues with OpenOffice. What are some of the issues you’re referring to in OpenOffice? Personally I tend to prefer it because I just think it looks nicer, but clearly there are some issues with it I’m unaware of.

It’s been over 10 years since I tried it, but at that time it was common for OpenOffice to have compatibility issues with MS office formats, but those issues were already fixed in LibreOffice.

Isn’t that sort of an issue with LibreOffice today though? At least in the sense that there are features in for example Microsoft Word where, if you use them in a document, and then open that document in LibreOffice Writer, it won’t render correctly/won’t function? I struggle to give you an example because it was a along time since I tried to do that, but I have definitely run into some compatibility issues there, on the side of LibreOffice. Maybe you’re referring to something else though?
