Man, I'm absolutely in love with @libreoffice. Initially, I used OpenOffice because I needed a free alternative to Office but since then, I've become very conscious of my privacy and the myriad benefits of .

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 . 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 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!

@ChallengeApathy
I'm still using M$ Office 365 with OneDrive. But I'm looking for alternatives and plan to make the switch this year. However, I'm sharing my office 365 with a few family members, so I'll also have to convince them... Any tips on how to replace both office and OneDrive for couple of semi-digitally-literate family members?

@jarjan @ChallengeApathy You might want to switch to the tabbed user interface (via the View menu), as that may be more familiar to many users!
