Download Libre Office instead of Word

Is there any FOSS program that's better than the paid option?

Would agree to everything you said but
>itunes
Are you braindead? iTunes is the biggest piece of shit ever.

You think itunes isnt shit?

...

They're not shit. It's called a learning curve. I've used GIMP since its inception, but when i try to use Photoshop i cringe. I did learn how to use Photoshop though.

The same goes with itunes, vlc, and word. You just have to learn. I for one enjoy learning.

MusicBee is better then VLC and Itunes.

You can't put gifs on LibreOffice, fucking gifs.

>Brick laying without mortar isn't shit. Sure, you have to go dig up some dirt and use mud instead, but it's fine. When the house collapses, it's not a big deal, you just have to learn.

>OPEN SORES TO COMPLICATED
>NEED PROPRIETARY BABY SOFTWARE

itunes is nice
a bit bloated
but if anything, better for managing music than vlc
is there a paid option at this point
there is only one program worse than itunes - musicbee

>musicbee worse than itunes

GTFO Tim Cook.

I use OpenOffice instead of word, they're basically identical except OpenOffice is a little more complicated so it's not completely copying word.

I use mpv as my music player, cause the windows one is shit and annoying to use, and i dont know any other one

>there is only one program worse than itunes - musicbee
Low bait.

LibreOffice, VLC, MPV, any game engine, chromium/Firefox, Android, GNU/Linux and many others.
There's no difference in difficulty on how to use them, you're just used on specific software and are not willing to learn how to use the alternatives. If you were to give a kid to use Linux and FOSS exclusively for 10 years they'd also find non-foss and Windows difficult to use and whine about it.

it is though
iTunes is faster and cross platform

I wouldn't call blender better than maya/3ds but it sure is a good alternative.

>itunes is faster

This shit take 2 hours to open, plus muscibee have less MB's and have more options the this jewcrap,

>don't cracking everything

>arguing with an illiterate iCuck
Let the thread die

>not using Google docs and WPS Office
>not using MPV
>not using Photoshop in Wine or just using fucking Krita
Wow it's fucking nothing

t. wincuck
opens in a second for me
but musicbee itself is slow - scrolling and other stuff
and storage is cheap

Nope. You get what you pay for. FOSS is garbage.

>Google docs

I've used LibreOffice since it came out, and it has gotten MUCH better over the years. And it has always been perfectly usable.

>OpenOffice

gtfo Oracle shill

This. If it requires an Internet connection for no reason then it's shit software.

>but musicbee itself is slow - scrolling and other stuff

It takes one second to me, but i will stop to respond you, it's probaly a bait.

>Nope. You get what you pay for.
Exactly, if the project is corporate backed then there's a good chance it's decent because hey, funds.

>scrolling takes a second
>MusicBee users think it`s the norm

>less then one second

Fixed, also itunes takes at least 3.

>HURRRRR IN MINE NOT

No, it takes 3, stop baiting.

user that's against the law!

>iTunes is faster and cross platform
So is clementine, without being bloated.

name 1 thing wrong with google docs

it just works
>inb4 it`s not windows
everything is slower on windows
i agree - even though clementine lacks some features

requires an Internet connection for no reason then it's shit software.

Whatever you say, baiter.

>mac
gtfo.

openssh

but it`s not a mac
>defeated opponent resorts to a logical fallacy

>using VLC instead of cmus as iTunes alternative
why

Crash your browser where calc and excel run smoothly?

No, it's iSoftware 43274982748927, a.k.a same shit.

>LibreOffice
It gets the job done for normal people. And it looks pretty nice on KDE.
>iTunes
You're retarded.
>GIMP
This one I agree with. GIMP is almost MS Paint-tier.

there is no 'I' in Mac OS X

You should use WPS office, it is the best word processor for linux

You can pay for FOSS... There's nothing stopping a person from selling their software with money. A lot do it for a hobby and culture reasons though.

If you're talking about less popular software that are better than popular software I'm sure people here can find many

a.k.a same shit;

os x is better than any other desktop os at the moment

>VLC instead of itunes
wut

>itunes is nice
Opinion disintegrated.

WTF i hate FOSS now!
1% of my tax will donated to the FSF due to this issue.

I hope this is bait but you do know vlc is a video player fucknugget?

Why not just delete it instead of sperging about it on some chinese online forum?

You got software-chink'd

>instead of sperging about it on some chinese online forum?
That isn't """fun""". I use all those "shit" without issues.

Reinstall Windows. Problem solved. All software is free one way or the other.

I run Window on Linux hosts and Linux on Windows hosts. I don't have to choose between them.

Choice implies restricted options. I can have it all, for no money and trivial effort. So can you.

VLC is great
GIMP is complete shit
Libre Office is very nice but it can't compete with MS Word, especially when it comes to compatibility.

Proprietary software sure is great to use.

I regularly hang around in /wsr/ and people think I use photoshop all the time (I use GIMP).

It probably helps that it's what I learned raster editing with, though, and don't have a history with another program.

>vlc for organizing music
of course its shit. VLC is a video player. I hear it has some capabilities for music organization, but so does windows media player.
this is like saying windows is worse than mac because windows media player isnt as good a music organizer as itunes.
use clementine or deadbeef or amarok or whatever the fuck else.

Well I guess that once you're comfortable with the weird interface and all that, it's probably an OK alternative. But still I'm sure it takes a lot more skill and effort to do something in GIMP, especially if you've had any previous contact with PS.
Plus I think it's "missing" a number of filters and various add-ons. But it's nice to use free software when you can, I do this too.

Windows isn't as good as macOS though.
iTunes is a good music player (on Macs at least) but Quicktime is pretty bad.
Windows Media player sucks for all media.

>Windows isn't as good as macOS though.
Completely irrelevant to
>this is like saying windows is worse than mac because windows media player isnt as good a music organizer as itunes.
The point is the things under comparison, not some
>OMG MACFAGS BTFO OOH OOOH [MEME HORNS]
shit.

macfags can't understand your point because they are literal macfags. Meaning they're all in, everything has to be apple related.
So it makes sense for them to say that itunes is the best because windows media player is shit.

>download Libre Office instead of Word

Yeah, what did you expect?

>download VLC instead of itunes
>it's shit

erm ... No.

I disagree with everyone this shitposter says.

The lastest version of LibreWriter, for starters, starts up faster than the latest version Microsoft Word.

Microsoft is pretty self defeating now as they literally require you to login to MICROSOFT WORD.

There isn't anything that Microsoft Word can do that LibreWriter cannot.

As for iTunes, >GIMP IS WORSE THAN PHOTOSHOP
>I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT LACKS PRETTY COLORS

>than

>gtfo Oracle shill
IIRC Open Office is long Apache.

Lacks standard document features
This

Uncomparable.

All office software is a pain in the ass to use, Libre Office is not worse than microshit office, you just got used to it and can't smoothly transition because it's different.

Itunes has completely different purpose than VLC. VLC is not a music manager, just a media player, maybe if you tried a player with more media management like Clementine you'd be happier.

GIMP has less features sure, but it's far from shit and unless you're a literal professional artist, GIMP does the job well enough. I've been using it a lot and nobody can fucking tell I don't use PS. Also, PS guys are assholes and don't play fair because they patent algorithms and GIMP can't use them so often even if they wanted and were capable of adding a feature, they can't because adobe will sue them.

>iTunes is nice.

Even as an iPhone user who only uses iTunes because it's the default, this is horse shit.

Foobar, Musicbee, shit, even Windows Media Player is better than fucking iTunes.

>attempting to use VLC for music library management

there was never any hope for you OP

>but it sure is a good alternative.

For the jobless who want to make a new sword for Skyrim maybe.

Blender is fuckign trash.

proprietary yihudi detected

Seconded, foobar is waaaaay better than any other media player on any platform, including mobile.

Try krita it beats photoshop

no it's objectively worse than office cause it can't properly save to word formats, and the obfuscated spec excuse is btfo by google docs being able to do so reliably

Blender

test

VLC isn't exactly comparable to iTunes, Windows Media Player would be a better comparison. iTunes has more to it than its player. A program called Tomahawk is closer to what iTunes is.

lmao itunes is also fucking garbage just get foobar

dumb feelposter

Yes, Ubuntu is better than Windows.

Why the fuck would you want iTunes? It sucks badly.

You want to know why nobody (You) this post?
Because its the truth.

Says the idiot who cannot spell.

There is in your case faggot.

And I suppose Microsoft Word can print out those gifs?

>VLC instead of itunes
How the fuck are those similar?

>implying there's anything worse than iTunes
Yes, even video player like VLC is better than this ogrebloated garbage.

Foobar2k > itunes

>using vlc to listen to music
>thinking itunes is good

I can admit when I see some good bait

>os x is better than any other desktop os at the moment
I know you're baiting, but congratulations on calling the OS with the worst hardware support ever the best.

Libre office is better than that metro shit office 2016

Vlc is better than itunes you macfag

Gimp is shit yeah we all agree on that

>he cant into libre office
>works on my machine
>not using paint,net/learning gimp

>tfw no smart paper to print my animated gifs

muh command line is too hard

Hard to make it compatible when the devs on the other side are intentionally destroying compatibility because they want to make their monopoly bigger.

LibreOffice is superior
VLC is superior although mpv is even more superior
GIMP is inferior.
mpv is the best goddamn FOSS ever written.

>LibreOffice is superior

What did I say wrong?

How much of a retard are you?
