Je trouve des limitations à #LibreOffice, pas insurmontables mais qui gâchent un peu la fête niveau comptabilité avec MS Word (exemples : les positionnements d'images et les "bullet points"), et OnlyOffice semble à première vue plus élégant dans son interface et peut-être bien aussi plus compatible.
Step 1: Hey, let's not use Microsoft and Google to collaborate remotely, let's use our university's #Nextcloud with #onlyoffice.
Step 2: Shit, that Onlyoffice is WYSIWYG, and those are a pain in the arse, even if they are Free Software. They force me to use a mouse and don't separate semantic structure from look & feel.
Step 3: Okay, never mind, use whatever you like. Just send me a PDF export of your part once you are finished, and I will glue it together with my #LaTeX slides with pdftk.
Obligatory yearly toot about #FOSS so I can stay on #Fosstodon 🎉
I saw the other day that German state Schleswig-Holstein is going to switch to fully #FOSS. Which is great and hope it works out for them.
Having set up a fully (F)OSS (desktops, apps, servers, etc) IT env for a large non-profit, might I suggest proper enterprise support instead of a lone coffee-addicted sysadmin who tries to keep systems together with hopes, prayers and duct tape? 🥲
@Gina I think if you use both #LibreOffice and #onlyoffice you can cover basically kinds of documents. It's such a shame that OnlyOffice has telemetry/tracking baked in though :/
Ich hatte bspw. mit der Instanz von @digitalcourage noch nie Probleme. Aber es dauert zum Teil ein wenig, bis sich die Datei öffnet. User mit schlechter Verbindung haben dann evtl. Probleme?
Man, I'm absolutely in love with @libreoffice. Initially, I used OpenOffice because I needed a free alternative to #Microsoft Office but since then, I've become very conscious of my privacy and the myriad benefits of #FOSS.
It wasn't until 2022 that I made the switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice and at this point, I genuinely see ZERO reason to use #Office365. Why on earth would I pay a subscription for proprietary software when I can use an outstanding FOSS office suite that respects my rights and allows me to support them through donations, rather than predatory subscription plans?
It's awesome to me that free/libre open source software is at that point, now, where the alternatives are equal to, if not better than their proprietary competitors. In general, the #libre movement in computing is making for a much more hopeful digital future as big tech and proprietary software developers get worse and worse. Long live free software!
But you do need to be a geek. Hierarchical styles? Great for geeks used to class inheritance. But then the logic becomes cumbersome around lists and numbering. And those Standard/Default (from memory) buttons? I don't know that I've successfully taught those to anyone.
Perhaps a new super simple UX option would help onboard people.
Meet #ONLYOFFICE today at Red Hat Summit: Connect in Rome 🇮🇹
The agenda of the event includes keynote speeches, technical and business sessions curated by our experts and Red Hat partners, and success stories on topics such as Open Hybrid Multi-Cloud, AI, Security, Edge Computing, Managed Cloud Services and Cloud Native.
#ONLYOFFICE participates in the event as a silver sponsor
One of my problems with #GoogleDocs is that it will block access if it thinks your browser is incompatible.
As a user of UserAgent obfuscators this is really annoying when someone wants to share a Doc with me. #Nexcloud (with the #OnlyOffice plugin) does it exactly right, by warning me that I might encounter problems, but it is still up to me to decide if I want to accept the possible complications.
Als je wil kan ik je helpen met overstappen naar volledig vrije systemen, want "Want als de waarden van het platform waarop je communiceert niet overeenkomen met de waarden van je organisatie, moet je daar dan wel gebruik van maken?" En dat geld ook voor de software waarmee je je productie doet. #AllesOpenSource
@dennisl I switched to LibreOffice years ago and never looked back.
I understood that many developers had moved to LibreOffice, and OpenOffice had since stalled?
In terms of accessibility, LibreOffice continues to improve their export-to-PDF engine. They can now generate a PDF that is often pretty much compliant with PDF/UA.
Though I still use Microsoft Office for client work.
I'm curious to try OnlyOffice. I wonder how it compares?
