@avon_deer @aetus @kkarhan Use whatever works for you! Just note that OpenOffice has problems getting security fixes on time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So to be secure, there's LibreOffice, which is actively developed and maintained.

LibreOffice is the newest iteration of OpenOffice, eh? I might just give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!In conversation permalink -

You can even donate to #FLOSS and I'd suggest you donate the equivalent of their #CCSS counterparts' #subscription.
#WorksForMe for > 10 years now and I'm considering to get an actual #Support #Subscription for @ubuntu since that's a convenient option and I do rely on #Ubuntu LTS for work.

Aetus (aetus@birdbutt.com)'s status on Wednesday, 09-Aug-2023 21:25:22 JST Aetus There was a time when I loved working by computer. But apps are so dodgy it's hard to get anything done reliably. MS Word constantly flashes extraneous page thumbnails & bits of garbage as I compose. Warns me it can't sync with cloud then it can. So distracting. Adobe rushes out updates that mess up so bad I spend a day fixing it. Chrome & any apps relying on it crash continuously. Can I go back to buying software & have it run w/o the cloud. I hate this future. #technology #rant
