Don't worry, Satya will prompt Copilot a lot better now.

What about the lesser part... what happened?

Holy crap, this looks amazing. Has anyone tried it?

That "someone" is NextCloud.

Microsoft alternative: Nextcloud and Ionos develop open-source ‘Euro-Office’.

Nextcloud and Ionos are promising a modern, open-source office suite for the summer. To achieve this goal, they have forked OnlyOffice.

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 software is scheduled to be released in a first stable version in the summer. Ionos and Nextcloud announced this jointly in Berlin on Friday. „The product is intended for the entire market, from small businesses to the public sector,’“said Ionos CEO Achim Weiß.

Ionos and Nextcloud want to differentiate themselves from the open-source package openDesk from the federal-owned ZenDiS through, among other things, stronger integration of the individual applications and through AI functions. Nextcloud’s leading development is intended to ensure deeper integration. „Nextcloud is in charge,“ said Weiß. Both partners intend to hire ‘a double-digit number of developers each’ for the further development of Euro Office, according to their own statements.

However, ZenDiS can also easily use Euro-Office as an office component of openDesk, said Karlitschek. OpenDesk currently includes Nextcloud as a file exchange platform and Collabora Online as an office component. Likewise, other providers could also operate the open-source Euro-Office.

In addition to Ionos and Nextcloud, other partners such as XWiki, Soverin, OpenProject and the EuroStack initiative support the Euro-Office project. According to a press release, they encourage ‘public bodies, community contributors, and civil society organizations committed to open standards, digital rights, and sovereign digital infrastructure’ to jointly develop the software further.

A fork replacing closed source parts of OnlyOffice sounds great, does anyone know if the desktop versions also have closed source components ?

Relax, you won't experience Gnomification. It will only install stuff you won't even see, but are necessary for it to work, your system will remain freshly Minted and not Gnomed.

Wait, YunoHost uses Docker?

I believe all you have to do is backup and restore your home folder though.

This is great, I'll get it for my kids next sale.
