  Personally I use LibreOffice, it’s very solid.

  I use libre office on a second monitor and its fine. That honestly does not sound like a problem with software. It should not care how the os displays it to hardware endpoints.

    That’s wierd… I wonder why it gives me a hard time?

    • HubertManne@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah so everything else works fine on it. I mean you should be able to exculsively use the second monitor without your laptop screen. Like software does determine all sorts of aspects of how it displays to an os but the os is deciding on display sources. software does not dictate that.

        For sure, no idea why it freezes until I drag it back.

  Not sure what they're using, but OnlyOffice is pretty good

    I’ll give that a go, thank you!

      um. are you having a conversation with yourself where you recommend something you use and your now going to check it out???

      • BallShapedMan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Open Office and Only Office are the same thing? I’m confused.

    Oh that’s pretty neat projects. Wonder if Germany, Netherlands and France will go with this over euro office.

    • pmk@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Is eurooffice actually available for regular users somewhere? Not self hosting but like in managed nextcloud or similar?

      source

      • deczzz@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        No, I don’t think so. But it’s based on only office which does have a desktop offline client version without the need for hosting a backend server. Havent researched enough to say for sure. Just read through a few news articles and the GitHub page (the cognitive dissonance with this project - great idea, yet host om MS service and uses MS docx formats…).
