I love that it loads up really fast, compared to LibreOffice which is slow as molasses to start up.
LO has way more features though, it's not even a fair comparison. And something that ticks me off about Calligra and OnlyOffice is that they can't do partial word counts, as in the word count of the highlighted portion of the document only. Small things like these sting more than more niche features that you might not miss.
Still, it's nice looking and fast and adequate for a lot of basic documents.
- kwanbix 6y ago3 seconds takes LibreOffice Write to load on my "old" ThinkPad P50.
- approxim8ion 6y agoFirst load or was it already loaded in your session? Took 21 seconds on my 6 year old laptop with an i3 and 8GB of RAM. No SSD though, just a 5400rpm HDD. The second load was about 4 seconds though.
- bayindirh 6y agoEven with a good SSD and processor, LibreOffice takes a lot of time for the first fire. Then, as long as it's in the memory, you can fire it relatively instantly but, it's not "3 seconds flat".
- eptcyka 6y agoYMMV,for me it starts up instantly.
- bscphil 6y agoYeah, I have it on an SSD and it took six seconds to load. (And I have run it before since the last reboot, but it was closed and probably purged from memory since then.) Kinda reminds me, back in the day Microsoft would add a startup service that would preload Internet Explorer and Word (I think those two) into memory, because they started so slowly by default. Trying to get a leg up on the competition, I suppose, since obviously Firefox or what have you wasn't pulling similar tricks. I'd disable stuff like that in msconfig to get a faster boot time, but was always shocked by how slow Word would load after that.
