What office suite is ideal for Linux users then? Only office has been acting shady. Libreoffice, for the love of god I cannot use with that UI. If they improve the UI, I will switch to it in an instant. Now euroffice seems to have some promise but we will need to see.
@thedormantotaku @Dr_Vindaloo Maybe I am an old boy. I have written a book with libreoffice writer. It had also embedded tables and libredraw pictures.
I never got the hang of the UI tbh. It doesn't look polished enough. Though its functional for sure. I can do almost everything in libreoffice suite. It just feels unintuitive and uncomfortable tbh
@thedormantotaku A possible side-effect that I remember as micro$oft "improved" its office outlook, maybe with office 2k3 or so. I hated that. Many, particularly the windows UI based companies, followed it. OpenOffice/LibreOffice intentionally ignored it. And I was a linuxer.
But young people can not really remember it.
Yeah that's before I was born so I dont have any idea. My first exposure to.office suite was office 2010 so that has shaped my habits. Fuck Microsoft tho
