    “But staff and ownership are Russian.”

    Ok. Does that matter for open source software?

    I prioritize simple keyboard shortcuts, unfortunately LibreOffice sucks at that and the customization of shortcuts is lacking.

    I’ll look at the free tiers of some of the online ones to see what it’s like for them. I just want a few basics, ontop of the common ones (bold, increase size, etc.)

    • toggle bullets / numbers
    • change styles (e.g. heading 1)
    • insert hyperlink

    LibreOffice has been working “fine” for my DeGoogled personal life.

    Work is heavily Googled still (and not entirely up to me), but I’ve practiced a hard barrier between work tech and personal tech for years now. In case I can sway any colleagues: Anybody feeling like any of these alternatives would be ready for a small or larger team to jump over to that routinely collaborates on spreadsheets, documents and slides?

    Onlyoffice should be mentioned. Has a mobile app too, though it absolutely sucks ass. It’s fine for viewing, but it just crashes more often than you can save your document (spreadsheets at least)

      Really happy with OnlyOffice.

      It connects to my kDrive account where all my documents are saved and works fine.

      The iOS app is really useful for making small modifications or consulting documents.

        It’s fine on desktop, but the android app is too buggy to use for editing. It’s ok for viewing, but editing makes it crash constantly. Also making even simple formulas is painful, it just won’t cooperate

      It is mentioned in the bottom that only Western hegemony open source is mentioned.

      OnlyOffice is so much better too.

        That is what I use. Doesn’t it have the best translation to/fro Micro$oft, especially with Excel?

    I don’t know where these “guides” come from, seen several of them pop up. It is like a guide to mostly paid, corporate alternatives, not necessarily open source. There are lots of open source alternatives and configurations to get away from all of google’s services. Ksuite? please, no.

    Any labels for self-hostable? I’d rather keep my documents on my own hardware while also collaborating.

    I’m thinking of switching to mailbox.org since I’m a slut for one stop solutions and I’m in it deep with google docs/calendar/sheets/email. Anyone here used it and have thoughts? I like the idea of custom email domain idk if ksuite does that too, but I like the look of ksuite’s collaborative docs setup and large cloud storage

    since I moved to Linux back in August I’ve been using libreoffice. the only issue I have had is the default paper size being whatever it is Europeans use (printers full of eagle paper got mad) but after changing it I had no issues.
