minus-squareWrdlbrmpfd@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·5 days agoI 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.

minus-squareWrdlbrmpfd@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoOh, I see. And Electron is not really making things faster.
minus-squarepantherina@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoYeah mainly it ships often outdated versions of chromium, and duplicates of it (if you have Element, Onlyoffice and Signal Desktop, you have 3 versions of Chromium).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.
