    I struggle with Linux- though I still use it on my Internet machine… But libre office isn’t any more difficult that MS office. Also you don’t get ransomed for money on a very simple product. I don’t understand why people pay for this bullshit.

      1. LibreOffice is available on MacOS and Windows as well
      2. I’d argue it is easier to operate than MS office, because the UI doesn’t change basically under your cursor with every f*cking update

      For anyone disliking LibreOffice interface layout, OnlyOffice has very similar tabbed interface as MS Office.

          My.only annoyance is the shortcuts are all.different. My muscle memory for office shortcuts is reinforced at work, too. We can’t install third party stuff there, sadly.

            https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.1/HTML/GS5114-CustomizingLibreOffice.html

            To adapt shortcut keys to your needs, use the Customize dialog, as described below.

            1)Select Tools > Customize > Keyboard. The Customize dialog opens. 
            
            2)To have the shortcut key assignment available in all components of LibreOffice select the LibreOffice button. 
            
            3)Next select the required function from the Category and Function lists. 
            
            4)Now select the desired shortcut keys in the Shortcut keys list and click the Modify button at the upper right. 
            
            5)Click OK to accept the change. Now the chosen shortcut keys will execute the function chosen in step 3 above whenever they are pressed.

              Oh, I know. I’m just too lazy to set literally every damn one of 'em. But thanks! It’s just an annoyance, really.

                It would be a nice gesture to help welcome folks if there were presets you could switch to that would do them all at once.
