I’ve recently switched to Linux (Debian Bookworm) because I was tired of all the bullshits I had to deal with when using Windows, especially when developing software.
Now I really have to use MS Office applications for my school. Libreoffice is good but not completely compatible with MSOffice, like I can’t use the log graph in the template provided. And their web apps are nearly unusable (especially with Firefox and its variants) , so I need desktop versions.
I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.
How do you guys manage to open MS files appropriately?
Hmm. It’s proprietary but I have to get my work done…
It’s actually not. It’s open core (a.k.a. 80% open source with its AGPL licenced community edition and proprietary with the enterprise edition that adds a bunch of stuff on top)
“open core” is pretty much “proprietary, but we won’t call it like that, we will also sue you if you use our code”
I didn’t know that, thanks. I’ll try it out
I can’t trust ChatGPT really
Onlyoffice is under AGPL-3.0-only. It is not proprietary.
I thought it was open
but I could be wronglooking at their website it says the code is available on github
