This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
isn't openoffice the better one or is the jury still out on that one?
i dunno, I just wordpad everything
LibreOffice is based on OpenOffice but OpenOffice is basically abandoned with every few updates or improvements over a good handful of years now. LibreOffice is generally seen as the successor and I wouldn’t be surprised is OpenOffice just gets archived.
Are you sure this is the word you meant to use? Having trouble parsing the sentence. How does a piece of software "abscond"?
I meant to say abandoned, no clue why it autocorrected to that on my phone.
Ah ok I figured you meant something else.
I think you have it backwards. LibreOffice is the better one. OpenOffice has not seen any real updates since 2015. ( The apache foundation that is technicality still maintaining openoffice themselves say that OpenOffice has too many iron security issues)
I think openoffice might be better for compatibility with Microsoft format docx.
No, OpenOffice is dead in the water. Either use LibreOffice or, maybe, one of its forks.
