I love LibreOffice. Often when it’s mentioned I’ve seen people with the opposite sentiment, but it never caused me any trouble and I really enjoy the small tabs option for the interface.
Microsoft Office has once decided to take my locally created file, shove it somewhere in OneDrive, then revert it to the state it was 24 hours prior - I couldn’t recover the newer version. Guess which software never deleted my files? LibreOffice.
I have had the exact same experience with Office 365. It overwrote my local copy with an older version from cloud. My finished version was nowhere to be found. Took me half the night to create the doc again.
I always save MS docs under multiple file names now to defend against this. It is a hassle though. I also use LibreOffice for personal stuff, largely for this reason.
Libreoffice is so reliable. I’ve never had a real issue with it. I like that in this increasingly internet-always-on world I can count on Linux applications to just work whenever I please.
