Tbf I haven’t used either extensively (or at least the features I’ve used in either have been very basic one), but I haven’t had any issues with OpenOffice. What are some of the issues you’re referring to in OpenOffice? Personally I tend to prefer it because I just think it looks nicer, but clearly there are some issues with it I’m unaware of.
It’s been over 10 years since I tried it, but at that time it was common for OpenOffice to have compatibility issues with MS office formats, but those issues were already fixed in LibreOffice.
OnlyOffice was an office suite developed by Sun Microsystems. Oracle stopped development whel they bought Sun. eventually the developers got fed up and founded the Open Document Foundation. oracle threw kind of a hissy fit, then eventually gave up and donated Open Office to the Apache foundation. Apache alleges Open Office is an active project, but they’re just shuffling deck chairs. Open Office is dead, and Oracle killed it. Libre Office is what Open Office used to be, and more
Only Office is an open source free suite that is developed by Ascension System SIA. It is open source but has a paid option for corporate support. It offers cloud storage servers or local server storage.
When I retired, I wanted to ditch LibreOffice because I just don’t need a full office suite anymore. So I tried Only Office for a bit. It’s kind of like the office suite we have at home. It’s fine for most people. But I always had issues with it dying on me under Fedora and Mint.
After a while, I realized I didn’t even need that much office anymore. So I’m back to where it all began on Linux-- AbiWord and Gnumeric. That’s all I need anymore. It’s refreshing how a mere 125Gigs of storage on a cheap mini desktop can show what you really only need.
Why on earth is OpenOffice here??
LibreOffice is the maintained fork.
It has been that way for 16 years now.
16 years.
There are people working full time jobs who were born the same year that LibreOffice started.
Stop promoting OpenOffice. People will have problems with it that have been long fixed in LibreOffice.
Edit: typo

I think you misread “only office” as “open office”. Though, you typed both in your reply… 🤔

Thank you
Because I can understand “Open” while “Libre” sounds strange. — most people, probably
