From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OnlyOffice looks so much better and simpler.

How did you test it’s apparent ‘slowness’? I use it and have no issue.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Run it on ancient hardware. If it chokes on computers from the '90s, it's slow.

What do you people do with a word processor?

How is OnlyOffice's offline performance and support for Graphite smart font technology? I use Graphite fonts and no support for those is a deal-breaker.

No idea. The reason I recommend it it is the far sleeker interface and beginner friendliness. Besides the better looking UI it does not really add anything.

Isn't only office limited to Microsoft office formats though?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I think you can also export open document style.

It's never mentioned on their website. I'll have to install it some day to check it out.

Also, libre office has randomly crashed for me on multiple distros now, while doing really mundane things like... resizing a window or trying to save the document as PDF.

I will second only office. It's more stable for me.

OnlyOffice crashed for me repeatedly on Debian, LibreOffice did not.

But otherwise yes, I prefer OnlyOffice as well for a much friendlier interface.

LibreOffice just commonly puts mundane parameters God knows where.
