Looking for an office suite that doesn't spy on you or share your data? We're here. LibreOffice is open source (you can study how it works), and backed by a non-profit @tdforg. Enjoy.
@nuncio It should work! But "on Linux" is very broad – which Linux distro, and which desktop environment? Which version of LibreOffice? You can let the QA community know of any issues at bugs.documentfoundation.org – thanks!
@lerekofatwgo Hi! We don't have an equivalent yet, but there are some ways you can make it happen: get involved and help our volunteers, or consider funding a developer: documentfoundation.org/certifi… – If people get together and do that, we can get these features and more 😊

This has been my go to office suite for a while now. Early versions would occasionally have file compatibility problems, but it does everything I need and I don't have to deal with the always Internet connected o-365. I'm also one of those weirdos who looks at 'ribbon interfaces' and consider them to be just a waste of window space. If that option exists in Libre, thank you for not making it the default.
you guys make great stuff, thank you for all the work you do! I do wish fonts had fractional pixel positioning support so letters didn't dance back and forward as you scroll or zoom, and a slightly more modern UI (like that cool color coded gtk4 mockup we saw around 2 years ago) would be nice, but other than that I really have no other complaints. Very, very solid piece of software that has served me loyally through many a school semester 💚
@tdforg 7.6 and both draw and writer docs fail to maintain the connectors through close and reopen. Using VRT Systems gallery of network equipment shapes extension gallery. I also attempted with the default Network gallery. Windows 10.
@YRthegdnamestkn Hi, as mentioned, please let us know the document format (eg .odt, .odg) that's you're using. You can also let our QA community know here: bugs.documentfoundation.org – Thanks!
What comes to your mind, when you ask yourself why people use LibreOffice? A “stunning user experience” is likely not in the top list. And unfortunately we share this problem with a lot of user facing Free Software.
@blueghost So to clarify: as the image says, LibreOffice doesn't mine your data, or do telemetry. There was some discussion in the design community about an entirely opt-in tool (that is no longer being pursued anyway). If people want to opt-in to anything, or indeed install other extensions, that's up to them. But LibreOffice, out of the box, does not share documents, perform telemetry etc. – as the image illustrates. That's why we say there's no contradiction. We hope that makes it clearer!
@blueghost please have someone with PR training run this account. Straight contradiction of a user's message when they're expressing concerns is not a good stance for multiple reasons...
it’s also not as accessible for blind screen reader users as Microsoft 365. Until Libre Office works at parody with screen readers as Office does, blind users are stuck picking an option which doesn’t respect our privacy because we don’t have much of a real choice if we want to get our work done.
I am not a daily user of office suites. Most of my writing is done in plain text or LaTEX, and drawings are done on inkscape. However, I use a lot libreoffice calc. From viewing data, to do fast plots, or apply formulas. The best thing is that I can work with CSV files directly from my scripts' output.
Thank you for all the work :)
As always I will continue promoting people to use the suite over other alternatives.
I am afraid the PowerPoint app is not easy to use. I have no idea howto get back from adding a text field to selecting a photo to resize. There seems to miss an icon to select things?
@hanscees PowerPoint isn't from us – but if you mean LibreOffice Impress, then to select something on a slide, you can click on it. If you mean the text box is above a photo and you want to select the photo underneath it, this is explained in the online help: help.libreoffice.org/latest/en…
Yes I mean impress. If you have selected text in the ribbon above you cant select anything else anymore after that.It just makes a text where you click. How do you make it stop doing the text thing?
@hanscees Ribbon is a Microsoft thing, but we see now that you're talking about an icon on the toolbar. If you've drawn a text box and don't want to draw any more, hit Esc once or twice and you won't be in text box drawing mode.

LibreOffice was promoting a data collaboration with a company called polypoly. That article appears to contradict this post.
In the last entry in the comments section of the article the author states the project is on hold.
@libreoffice, what is the status of this project with polypoly? Is it still on hold or has it been cancelled?

I mean the T-button in the ribbon, see?
Once I click that I can't select anything in the page anymore. How do I get back to the state before the T was pressed?
