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
Excuse me?? I'm sorry, but OnlyOffice is not FOSS. Hell, it's not even fully OSS in the first place, how are you calling it FOSS??
i had no idea. i assumed since the source code appeared to be on github (along with releases), it was.
I’ve been a happy OnlyOffice user for a while now.
However, if the people behind are crap, I wouldn’t mind moving to something else.
I’d only want it to work easily with kDrive (cloud storage) and also be able to do light work on my iPhone.
Do you know if this could be done with one of its alternatives?
FOSS office app for Android.
OnlyOffice mobile app is not fully FOSS. It is impossible to build it from source, as it requires dependencies from private repos.
The collabora android apps are pretty good
EuroOffice forked it, right? Let's hope they publish it soonish.
I don't see a fork on their account. The account description does say they're working on a mobile app though, so hopefully it's just private for now.
Collabora office
@Dr_Vindaloo If it as on the github, how many people did fork it before? The source itself is still here, question is its license.
Does OnlyOffice have an OnlyFans account?
well, OF must have offices so…
