Microsoft alternative: Nextcloud and Ionos develop open-source ‘Euro-Office’ (www.heise.de)

Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant Microsoft Office.

The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub.

While this is a good news, I think they should move from github, you know microslop copilot..

That's because most people are not willing to migrate their macros and some formulas from excel (lazy fucks that they are). It's doable, I've done it, did it years ago, and now build new ones for libre office all the time.

I have never had to rely on, or even use, microshit's software since then, haven't had anything not work for me. Being the imbecile that I am at those things and having managed to make them work, it's just a matter of choosing to do it, which most people choose not to.
