Same reason they can't leave Windows XP). (Most of the time it is because they wrote some pet Visual Basic script for spreadsheets and they can't live without it anymore. Usually Microsoft bigots, who lament niggling little interface issues or elements of the document conversion capabilities. And they are Bidirectional for most formats. The document migration capabilities of LO are very very good. They come, they go, they have wonky document conversion capabilities. I've learned never to trust these things to some odd-ball document processor / writer package.

I maintain a number of extensive manuals for my day job. I've used Abiword, KDE's Caligra suite, and a few others. You can edit /etc/libreoffice/sofficerc and turn of that annoying logo splash screen. But you can trim the ram usage and the load time in the Memory portion of LO Settings and get it operating faster at start up. I think using the resources is worth it on my work machine. Isn't that why you bought the computer in the first place? If you are a writer, I don't see why you would begrudge the use of that memory for your primary application. With any random document open in LO Writer, it takes less memory than Firefox or Chromium or Vivaldi.

And as far as I can tell, disk space is the only thing you give up when installing the full suite. Those other pieces of LibreOffice can actually be removed from your Menu system if they offend your eye. It even delivers accpetable speed and performance. I found LibreOffice runs perfectly on my Raspberry Pi Version 3. Seems way over kill for someone needing just a feature rich writer tool. LibreOffice is a humongous package suite of apps.

They will send you the code even tho you didn't actually download from their site. Just fill in form name, email but don't actually download as already installed from aur. Then start the fillout on web site for downloading.

I have a yahoo trash email for things like this. And a few features that LibreOffice are missing out of the bag? Less updates means saving time and bandwidth with constant updates of LibreOffice.

Tool layout and tools seem better presented. Less Cludgey looking more modern slick looking. The positives were loads 2x-3x faster than LibreOffice. Tho did stumble upon FreeOffice a little less in the all you can eat with Just Textwriter,Planmaker & Presentations. Just a writing tool not a Word,Spreadsheet,Presentation,Drawing & Database All you can eat buffet. So started looking around and was dismayed that there are a dozen options for coders & developers. For Linux that appears to equate to advanced features means for coders & developers. And don't know how bug-free and usable it is? And doesn't seem many other options available at all.Īs most text editors don't evolve to the windows wordpad like more capable just concentrating on better and more writing features writing tool. There is Abiword but was concerned about it's future forward. Was looking for alternatives to LibreOffice as really just need the word processor without the extra's.Īnd hard to find in the Linux world.
