It’s for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

    i don’t want to start a war but sorry, office is the defacto when it comes to office work and libreoffice still have many problems with formatting and editing existing .docx files (things seem better when it comes to .xlsx and .pptx) not to mention that your documents might not look similar on both due to missing proprietary fonts.

    its a good software in itself its just that its compatibility with office is a little dodgy

      I’d argue that no one gives a shit what the docx looks like as long as it looks good as a PDF or presentation slide.

      And for that I use whatever is at hand, which mostly consists of Gsuite shit at work. Sometimes O365 for school (because NA is stupid) or work. At home it’s Libre still Gsuite…
