Below is a snapshot of the latest Ubuntu 20.04 ( For those who know what Linux OS’s and Desktop environments are, I no longer use GNOME given that it can be unstable from time to time and have migrated towards Kubuntu with KDE Plasma installed, although Ubuntu does have some elements of “bugginess and instability”, by far, it is more stable than Windows 10 in many ways) Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is an open and free operating system supported, developed, and distributed by Canonical. This lead to the demise of Windows on my brand new HP Envy during my final year of university, where I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (while backing up all my documents and files). Sometime back in 2017, I was absolutely frustrated with Microsoft Office and Windows 10 is “bugginess”, slow, and just simply frustrating end performance. Firstly, what is LibreOffice? How is it like to use (it’s pros and cons)? How is compatibility like with other office suites? And Lastly, who, if anyone, is LibreOffice good for?īefore we dive into this, a little background story is needed on why I personally, use LibreOffice with Google Suites online. This article will answer the following questions. Microsoft Office is, after all, the gold standard of Office Suites, so why on earth would anyone want to use something entirely differently? For others, LibreOffice might be linked with unprofessional, underdeveloped, and lower quality end-product compared to Microsoft Office. In a world where corporate entities predominantly use Microsoft Office, the name LibreOffice may not be in the dictionary of many of these entities.
