    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?

    Too much unnecessary Russophobia in this. It’s like blaming every US citizen for the evil things that the US government and big tech corporations like Google, Meta etc. do. Stop that generalisation.

    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.

    “But staff and ownership are Russian.”

    Ok. Does that matter for open source software?

      Yes? It takes a lot of time for open sourced code to be examined to make sure there’s nothing shady in there.

      Just because it’s open source doesn’t mean it doesn’t phone back home or it won’t have a sketchy update in the future that can use some exploit to dig so deep in your device that even a factory reset won’t undo it
