To write this article, I went beyond the limits of my technical knowledge, which is that of an advanced user who has studied standard formats and their characteristics in depth, to understand why standard formats – one of the pillars of digital sover…
The Open Document Format (ODF) is an open standard format for office documents, which offers a vendor-independent, royalty-free way to encode text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.
I don't know why @libreoffice didn't toot this yet, but here it goes:

I have been using #LibreOffice on my #Linux machines for many years. Useful, stable and costumizeable! One of it's best thing is the export for PDF directly! 📝📑
I love #LibreOffice because it's my faithful office companion since even before it was born. It was StarOffice, first, then OpenOffice and now the most wonderful LibreOffice. Never been without, in my home computers, but also my office ones (when I was allowed to, and when I wasn't, the portable edition was always there, anyway). It helped me with university tasks, with personal projects, with home documents, ... and it's even on my 9yo kid laptop! LibreOffice, what else?
I like #LibreOffice (and donated a small amount of money for its further development) because it's #FOSS ,works perfectly for me (even better than #Word , for instance) and above all it's free from any U.S. #GAFAM . However, I don't really need the stickers. 😉

#LibreOffice #foss #OpenSource I love #Libreoffice because it gives you the choice of which interface to use. Because you never have the feeling that someone is constantly looking over your shoulder. And because ODF documents are much more efficient than Microsoft files. I have been using #Libreoffice for many years. I bought my first version in Munich, when it was still StarOffice version 5.2. That was quite a long time ago.
I like LibreOffice because 1) it is intuitive to use, you don't have to read a manual to use basic functions; 2) it is trouble-free to use without Internet in a sandbox (firejail); 3) it can be extended with add-ons; 4) it can read proprietary formats, unfortunately sometimes necessary; 4) its range of functions allows you to have no disadvantages when using free software for word/table/presentation editing.
I don't want to repeat all the amazing reasons that people have already posted, so I'll share that I love #LibreOffice because of the "outdated" interface. I dont like Microsoft's ribbons, and I miss the older versions of office. LibreOffice hits the vibe I enjoy working with and chooses function over fancy menus and confusing navigation.
