As you know, this will be the final version of LO to have Semantic Versioning; all future releases will have Calendar Versioning.

How much of that is just new users doing their 23rd Arch install?

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 73 points 1 year ago

Probably zero, since LibreOffice is a part of the repo.

And so far we’ve had 1,587,383 downloads from our site! (So that doesn’t include Linux distributions that package it themselves.)

[-] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I would've almost considered those downloads as reported in some way. Debain does queries into package use. Figured it might trickle down.

It trickles down like that time I peed while doing a handstand.

There is really only one rule when doing the handstand, and you broke it.

So true 😂

Hey I contributed 2 of those just this month reinstalling Windows after an update broke my raid array by modifying the partitions on one of the drives rather than the array. And then decided the drive was corrupt. And then finally accepting this as the last straw and giving up and installing Linux as my primary OS. Only keeping Windows for the few games that require it, or I'd just run a VM for the few other times I might need it.

It still sucks though. It doesn't play nice with dark mode on Windows at all. I've been trying to get away from Google docs and I was hoping Libre would be a decent alternative, but it just feels bloated and clunky in comparison. I really wish it didn't.

If anyone has alternatives I'm all ears.

[-] glasgitarrewelt@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

It doesn't suck, it's just different from what you are used to. Especially the compatibility to Excel-Formulars impresses me.

But of course there are open source alternatives. OnlyOffice is often recommendet if you prefer the Microsoft Office look. I think you could also self host it to make it a real alternative to google docs, but I haven't looked into it.

Avoid Openoffice, it sounds similar to Onlyoffice. It is the predecessor of libreoffice and deprecated.

Dark mode issues hahahahaha

It would be great is LibreOffice Calc had more data analysis features.

[-] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 8 points 1 year ago

future releases are bound to be confusing!

[-] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

CalVer isn't confusing.

[-] alansuspect@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Is this the best open source doc editor? I'm slowly degoogling and using drive/docs is a hard one to move away from. Can LO open Google docs?

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

It's more of an alternative to Microsoft Office, but it is mostly considered THE open source office suite for GNU/Linux.

For something cloud-based, you may want to consider OnlyOffice. I've never used it, so I can't say how good it is.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Should probably put it on the MS Store, because somebody else already has and is charging money for it...

[-] bahmanm@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Would be lovely to have a download per release diagram along w/ the release date (b/c Summer matters in the FOSS world 😆)

[-] timkenhan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I have mixed feeling about the calendar versioning...

Everything started with her...

[-] grandel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm also wondering why you would stop using SemVer
