OpenOffice - large amounts of tutorials, small community
LibreOffice - small amount of tutorials, larger commmunity

Oracle is not cool

Isn't OpenOffice dead?

I used to quite like OpenOffice but with Office 365 only costing £20 a year I picked up 3 years worth and it gives me 5TB (1tb for 5 accounts) of onedrive storage and 60 mins of skype a month which is handy for my gf to call her parents in peru. plus no document compatibility issues.

shame as openoffice was pretty based for a while

>subscribing to software
>SUB
>SCRIBING

Hahaha ha ha hah ahahahahwghawhghg hghgh.

does open office still exist?

>and 60 mins of skype a month
What? Skype is paid now?

OpenOffice.org is dead, Apache OpenOffice is the successor to it. LibreOffice is the successor to the Go-oo-builds of OpenOffice.org.

you act as if OO is still alive

That's what you get for ordering your girlfriend from a catalogue.

For phone calls yes, as it has always been

I think they mean 60 mins of calls to phone lines, which is paif

To call real phones you need credit

I actually prefer open office to libre.

yeah. it took a few different directions after the schism. it's now oracle ware and as such there's no incentive for community development or engagement. star office was killed. seeing open office in the same sentence as "lotus notes" will tell you what you need to know in any case. OP is literally retarded and hasn't so much as looked at the wikipedia article. Libre Office is the only one worth using.

Do they still hide malware in their setup files?

probably calls to cellphones

man what a clusterfuck

why do you need tutorials for that

I have encountered a bug in LO Base and wanted to double check if it existed in OO too. It wasn't there. I then installed LO Fresh and the bug was fixed.

don't bother with apache's open office. also, who the fuck needs tutorials for your word processor? how stupid are you?

paid Microsoft pajeet detected

>clusterfuck

For an open souce project that's pretty Good actually.

>OP is literally retarded and hasn't so much as looked at the wikipedia article.
>Libre Office is the only one worth using.

Worth using while having to read documentation published on OpenOffice website? While having to browse the API in OpenOffice because it's only there that information is properly given? While having to read their stalling forums because it's only there that people ask relevant questions?

I need to do more than just word processing.

like what

I'm making a form in Base connected to an sqlite database and writing a few macros because form-subform relations aren't enough. I'm doing this for the first time too, so that information is really useful for me.

It's kinda impressive how at their peak there was 5 active forks of openoffice with dissimilar features.

when becomes irrelevant with respect to real competition, starts to multiply causing noise, contradictions and confusion. classical OSS.

>but with Office 365 only costing £20 a year

Office 2013/16 professional (or standard [less bloat]) VL + microsoft toolkit (autokms) and you are set for life.

oracle bought open, and refuse to update it in a meaningful way.

the original creators built libre, which is the same thing but better cause it is still updated.

as for the folks with document issues. learn to save yo shit in a windows format before you try to load it in microsoft office dumbass. my libre has no compatability issues thus far

Welcome to the world of open sores, Where everything is forked and forked again until it's completely unusable garbage.

They both have a pretty paltry community when it comes to the Microsoft Office though. It doesn't make much of a difference.

call me when libreoffice gets ribbons

remember how much people hated it when it was first shown?

not really, but it is absolutely amazing and must have thing for me

I worked in libreoffice, it feels bothersome to hunt stuff in menus that close on you after you make use of something...

Welcome to Software Libre.
Where Ideologies are more important that goals

Libre is quickly becoming one of my most hated words

You're free to Libre.

It's for calling to the cell landline. Cloud-calling is still free as in freedom.

grab WPS Office. It has ribbunz

use proper tools other than Word Processing software

/thread

let me interject for a moment.... but the software you mention does not respect your freedom.

>proper tools
There are no other FOSS tools available for Windows to do this.

lol. FOSS tools and windows. you have many options. cygwin. virtualize linux. pirate or trial non-foss tools. your problems are of your own creation

I have no problems with what I'm already doing.

>Hello from Seattle

What happened to WPS Office?

>tutorials
its an office suite
what you need tutorials for?

I remember being able to call phones with Skype for free before (at least 10 years ago).

true but OO is now an Apache project

spent time with this shitty interface and you'll like it
