So Libre Office is free?

If it does what regular office suit does i would happily pay 300 dollars for it to have it as mine and not be fucked with

Is this your first exposure to FOSS? If so, you are in for a treat. There’s a whole world of free, open source software out there for you to enjoy.

Yeah, it’s 100% free.

[-] redshift@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Free forever, and works great.

[-] excral@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Free and open source, but if you're willing to pay, you could donate to the project.

I need to try onlyoffice again. The last time I tried, was the original beta, and it was faulty (being a first release beta, and all)

[-] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Oh onlyoffice works great! It's spreadsheet function is far less buggy than excel and it's smooth and snappy.

[-] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

OnlyOffice spreadsheet has less functionality than Excel but unless you are a super power user then it's not a problem.

Onlyoffice is apparently Russian, "headquartered" in Latvia.

[-] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Latvia is not Russia, unless something recently changed

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

JFC it can be russian owned and russian controlled and russian employed and pay russian taxes while "headquartered" in Latvia.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 month ago

Latvia is not Russia

Yet.

And if you look on a Russian map, I'm sure it's there already.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

What? Latvia is a part of NATO.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

what does it even mean to be russian then?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

You know, almost entirely staffed by Russians (outside of Latvia), the executive suite is Russian, shareholders are Russian, etc.

Like have you guys never heard of companies being "headquartered" in the Cayman Islands?

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sure, now why would that be a factor for choosing a software or not.

You didn't choose the country you were born in anymore than they did.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

yes, very much

if your only argument is the nationality of the people involved, it's a bad one.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago

the only problem with onlyoffice is that it's electron.

No, they're negative.
