    I prefer Only Office (Desktop Version) to Libre Office, because

    • it does not look like over 20 year old Office 2003
    • it uses docx and xlsx as native format which makes it easier for noobs

    I heared Only Office has some Russian connections. Otherwise it still is Open Source.

      Onlyoffice uses Electron, which uses an outdated and seldomly updated version of Chromium 😵

      It would be good if they could support QtWebengine or WebkitGTK, or if the Linux Desktops could start to support a single webview-like runtime

          Yeah mainly it ships often outdated versions of chromium, and duplicates of it (if you have Element, Onlyoffice and Signal Desktop, you have 3 versions of Chromium). So big bandwidth, RAM and storage waste.

      Yes, but it turns out you can do a lot of ‘switching’ even if you can give up on android or iOS straight away. I follesdd this guide for degoogling my Samsung, not done yet but feels like I made some good changes: https://androides.nl/degoogle-guide/

      Though large part is already covered by switching services / apps
