    I completely agree, I like LibreOffice way more than MS Office. It’s basically got the pre 2007 look and feel, and that is what I like and what I’m used to.

    I just happen to work on getting MS Office working on Wine for a small local company and know a thing or two about getting it working in Wine.

      On another note: why do we have open standards like jpeg and png but proprietary shit like docx?

        MS took over that market in the 90’s when shit was settlig down after the UNIX wars and people didn’t actually have an alternative. MS came in and swooped the market.

        It is hard to switch when ”the defaults"are in place.

              Thanks for mentioning it. I had forgotten it exists since I barely use word processors atm.
