Linux Mint Operating System Free, page-62

"Linux version of office is the same as microsofts was 15 years ago."

You like to focus on pretty pixels obviously, but this statement is BS again.

Try loading any MS Office package up with a document which has pages of very heavy graphics. It jams up and becomes unstable after about 20-40 pages and can even fall over (less so these days, but who can forget the blue screens of death that lost all your work without warning?). Linux office suites however, handle more than 400 pages of intense graphics with ease. This is one of the main reasons I have always run a Linux machine.

LibreOffice (in particular) and OpenOffice is modern and extremely good software. They are FREE and openly distributable to anyone and for as many machines as you want. MSOffice products are NOT free! You pay for …. every … single ….install! (On top of the high cost of the Windows OS!)

LibreOffice and OpenOffice look and feels different to MSOffice. Correct!
Glitz in productivity software is not a feature! Many seem to have forgotten that these days as they still need to release more "features", even in an overly matured product just to keep the relentless upgrade money train working. Business owners and many hate this forced cycle!

For professional writers, it is well known that Linux's Libre has more USABLE functions and features for complex document manipulation and management than Word in general. This is because they were originally designed with combined page and graphics layout in mind as well as word processing.
