It's crazy how, after all this time, OpenOffice is still mentioned so often despite being kind of dead for a while.
- __s 9mo agoI'd switched my father from OpenOffice to LibreOffice, but the upgrade story was painful & years ago switched him back to OpenOffice after it was given to Apache. Figured the projects would consolidate under Apache, but no & wow checking up on it now, things have not been going well at Apache for last decade
- przmk 9mo agoWhat exactly do you mean by upgrade story? The Libre Office UI hasn't changed for a long time (although there are new UI options l'île the ribbon, etc), I'd think the switch would be pretty straightforward.
- __s 9mo agoI realized when posting this reply that these experiences are from over a decade ago. This was on Windows, the self upgrade option just didn't work well (large download, wouldn't complete or something, would end up reinstalling instead)
