From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Libre office or open office, what do you guys think? I've used both from time to time.
Open office has been dead for years now. The core team moved to Libre Office
OnlyOffice is the main alternative to Libre these days.
I personally prefer it because offers better compatibility with the Microsoft 365 documents I need for work.
It saddens me that the best to have compatibility is to never touch MS Office. They are the largest player by far. Subtly fucking up or deviating from open document standards will always be seen as "well, the issue is non MS office".
