>>54962345
because I like functionality

>>54962663
Sorry.
>>54962603
this >>54962633 was meant for you (the first part)
>>
>>54962687
What about LibreOffice isn't functional? Generally curious about your experience, as I've had no issues with it and have no problems with .docx files.
>>
>>54962835
There's just a lot of little things that are off. Microsoft Word detects grammar and spelling mistakes far better than libre. Headings not on the first page is also more difficult in libre. .doc files are more efficient storage wise than LibreOffice's extension.

Things are just easier in Word.

Also same thing with Gimp. What year is this? And Gimp still doesn't have the equivalent of layer styles?
>>
>yet another attempt by Kevin to fit in
sage
>>
>>54962949
I agree with you there about the grammar and spelling mistakes, but I find the autocomplete useful (most of the time), and the headings is a bit annoying. And I'm curious how .odt compares to .doc and .docx for large documents, but for small ones .doc and .docx is more efficient. And I find LibreOffice easier, but that's just me. And GIMP is retarded for that stuff. I only use it for very small edits, otherwise I load up photoshop cs6 in wine and I use Krita sometimes. It just depends what I need to do. If I don't need to use Photoshop I won't, I'll use GIMP, and I have it set on single window mode so it isn't an utter mess ui wise.

No bully though, welcome to linux and enjoy your stay,

Lol I made my startscreen on my own and I just Like libreoffice. Thanks for the laugh though cause this is somewhat true (the part about showing /g/) and a shameless plug to my homepage github link https://github.com/kevinarefunny/my-homepage.
>>54963389
Some of that is objective and opinionated, and what about libreoffice in the screenshot isn't flat?
>>
>>54962345
the question is why are you using it with unity , which has menu icons turned off in it.
>>
Can someone please tell me which theme that is?

because iWork TM

>>54962345
It looks and feels like half-assed trash and I don't see a point in using software that feels sub-par.

I just use StarOffice instead.

Why not just download the binary? I never understand why anyome would want to do this.
>>
>>54964403
Binary packages come with a lot of extra shit that you don't need so that they're compatible everywhere. If you build the package yourself you can optimize to for your system.
>>
>>54962345
Google Docs is a thousand times better
>>
>>54962572
A bus is easier way to move around as you're letting someone else drive. Same with office suites. Also Markdown isn't a car. It's more like a bike.
