I know the Linux community loves LibreOffice but OnlyOffice is just waaaay more user friendly overall, and the ability to have all the office suites in one window is wonderful. It's become standard for me to replace LibreOffice with this as soon as I install a distro.
How is it on resources? I have a i386 project computer running Debian 12 and I'm looking to make it as "modern" as possible. Right now, my fight is with slow browsers and LibreOffice (I'm trying to avoid the Abiword, etc route).
if it's an old (like c2d or older) pc with hdd and limited ram, probably better to use openoffice or libreoffice and deal with the slow launch times. onlyoffice is essentially a javascript app in exe form and is a bit slow on older hardware.
Ok. I've put in a SSD, I'm looking to add RAM (I may be already maxed out), and run zswap, etc. I guess I'll be sticking with LibreOffice.
I use the laptop for ham radio stuff, mostly, and things like an office suite are secondary.
