       Trying to move away from the #Microsoft suite (#Word, #Powerpoint, #Excel), mostly because of their forcing of #Copilot on users.It seems that the choice is between #LibreOffice or #OpenOffice - which one would you recommend that is most compatible with MS formats, has similar functionalities (but with #NoAI ) and is good for collaboration (e.g. can do tracked changes)?(Best if it works with #Zotero)Edit: thanks for all the comments about OpenOffice being in Zombie mode. I had not realised!Also, some people suggest #OnlyOffice but its parent company is Russian-based (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice). Should we really support it at the moment? 🤔Looks like I'll just try LibreOffice for now but am still interested in y'all's thoughts!Edit 2: installed LibreOffice and added the LibreOffice Zotero processor. It all instantly worked!

       @elduvelle Hello! 👋 To answer your question, OpenOffice's last major update was in 2014. Since then there have been a few minor updates, but now it has years-old, unfixed security problems so is strongly not recommended for production use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – Virtually all development in the last decade has been in LibreOffice, which is the actively maintained successor project. It has all these extra features, and vital fixes:

       @libreoffice that sounds great! 🙏 And I really hope you are not planning to add any "genAI" or "AI bot" or any other kind of AI in it!

       @elduvelle We have zero plans to put anything like that in LibreOffice 😊
