I've been trying to use #LibreOffice as a replacement for #MSOffice but it's really not the same, lots of small things that do not work in the same way or that do not exist at all, whether in word/ writer or PowerPoint/ pages.

Is there another MSOffice-equivalent out there that is more similar to Office but non-profit?
Like... the Zorin OS of MSOffice?

Never lost a document with LibreOffice, but I only use it to open and edit admin documents that arrive in docx, pptx or xlsx formats. Has both autosave and recovery from crash.

For writing, just about anything else is a better text editor. In this sense MS Word is as bad.

For slides, LibreOffice Impress isn't great but what it does, it does well and reliably. I edit slides as SVG documents in Inkscape and then merely drag-and-drop them into Impress. Or when no videos, I use Inkscape in multi-page mode. It's so much more sane, and powerful.

@albertcardona @elduvelle @UlrikeHahn mostly the same except for slides. I usually do LaTeX for very important presentations, but it's too annoying for less important ones. inkscape in multi-page makes a lot of sense!!

@GWeindel @albertcardona can you have animations in inkscape? Or videos? I thought it was just for images đź‘€ @UlrikeHahn

In principle inkscape can have animations that are then exported to a webpage or even a PDF file. In practice, I use LibreOffice Impress for that.
