Only problem with libre is compatibility. Is this actually more compatible with MS office?
>>
>>102923865
I should because libreoffice sheets is killing my CPU
I have one sheet to track my spending with like 40k rows and formulas to compute the totals, and check if the total of 2 columns matches, and it's so fucking slow to copy/paste and save. I guess running the formulas is really inefficient. Gnumeric handles it fine but messes up the formatting.

yeah but I don't want an actual accounting program, I mostly use it to track stuff I've ordered online and if it shipped/delivered yet, and to keep an inventory. It's not every purchase I make just ones I make at the computer.

My former employer had some kind of partnership with Microsoft that allowed them to sell a perpetual license to Office for employees to install at home on their personal computers. The license specifically stated that it remains in effect even if you leave the company. Think I paid something like $10 or $15. Best part is that it is offline.

Libreoffice has 5 ui options and none of them are good enough and you use Russian spyware instead.

I just wanted to post that onlyoffice is slow, cause it's webshit, but the fact that it isn't NSA spying tranny bullshit, outweighs it.

Being from any country that isn't the JewSA or the JewU, immediately makes it better.

Nope, it's written in JavaScript. Somehow it runs better than LibreOffice, which is written in Java and C++.

Tl;dr ?
OpenOffice no longer updates and appears to have been left in a state of vulnerability against known exploits.

I don' like LibreOffice's performance, compatability, or UI but if its more secure then I'm switching.

libreoffice calc has some massively retarded standards. i've opened csv's only for localc to assume something about how some numbers are to be treated and just counts everything like a retard instead and fucks everything up.
never again.
also, you load a csv too big, it literally chokes
