    But I do not see how those would keep the knowledgeable people from working in LibreOffice and saving their documents in OOXML

    Because they’re not strictly “your” documents. You have to share them with co-workers.

        That it’s all cloud based. None of it is stored locally.

        Remember what I said about security around documents? Part of that is that docs are never on local machines. Yes, there are other issues with cloud storage, but nobody gets fired for doing it.

          So you are not using office, you are using a web application that gives you a “window” into microshit 365. Then of course you wouldn’t be able to do anything with LibreOffice but I guarantee you your IT is just one exploit away from an expensive nightmare. I would quit such a job right away if I had an option not to starve.

          docs are never on local machines

          They are though. Yeah, it’s hidden from the user, and also there are multiple ways to achieve exactly that using Libre

            And if you subvert that, you’re subverting IT security policy. Doesn’t matter if you think it’s a good idea or not.
