Microsoft Office or LibreOffice: I have been using the LibreOffice Suite, an open source application, for a long time. It works well, is free, and does everything I need from an office suite.
The latest version, LibreOffice 6.3, seems to be the best ever.
You see, she Microsoft does not want to buy the next Office 2019.
Jared Spataro, vice president of the company on the Microsoft 365 blog, the Office 365 cannibalizes Office 2019 because "it is constantly improving with new features provided every month, while Office 2019 applications are never updated with new features and are not connected to the cloud"
On the other I also use Google Docs. But if I want an office suite that runs on my machine without an internet connection and without worrying that Google or Microsoft is reading what I write I choose LibreOffice.
Of course the choice is yours, however I should mention that the Latest version of LibreOffice is much faster in both opening and saving documents and spreadsheets.
The Document Foundation, the parent company of LibreOffice, claims to be a class faster than the previous version. I'm not sure, but the application is quite fast.
As always, LibreOffice supports Microsoft Office Open XML (OOXML) format. Thus it supports export to DOTX document templates and XLTX spreadsheet templates. It supports importing diagrams from DOCX drawingML, importing / exporting SmartArt from PowerPoint PPTX files and better manages XLSX Pivot tables. It's not perfect yet, but it 's approaching.
Exporting LibreOffice files as PDF has been improved. It now fully supports the PDF / A-2 document format. This is required by various organizations for long-term file storage. Also simplify the editable PDF formats by integrating the Form menu into LibreOffice Writer.
A new feature, which can be useful to businesses and all those who are interested in security, is that with the new version of LibreOffice allows you to "process" the hidden information contained in the documents. This way, you can completely remove or hide sensitive information before sharing the file.
LibreOffice runs on Linux, MacOS and Windows. You can also use LibreOffice Online as a Cloud Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, running it from a cloud you control.
So if you want an office suite that will be updated regularly with new features, try LibreOffice. Following Microsoft's decision to use only SaaS in the Office suite, LibreOffice may soon be your best choice even if you use Windows Office.
Of course, to be fair, we have to mention that Microsoft Office is a very advanced office suite. But it does cost (unless you are using a pirated copy), and I personally can not trust either Microsoft or Google.
Could you tell me how I make Libre Office the default for opening documents? Thank you very much
Good evening !! I can upload a photo here!

In school though, I couldn't help but have another free office / ms viewer application besides Libre installed, because the cases where the DOC files were opened, but they were visually different than as when you opened them with MS Office, were just , very common.
And when others are computer-related, Libre as good as it is, at the same time semi-useless.
So on computers that didn't have authentic MS Office and where I didn't want to run broken programs, Libre was going in, but so would another free office suite and MS viewer. Well, these are tarzanas.
Υ.Γ. Anyone who comes out and says "you're wrong, all DOC files open in Libre just as they would in MS Ofiice" is obviously not honest. There are always files where some font Some alignment something will be different anyway.
This is called vendor lock in. Look for it.
In professional environments, universities etc will laugh with you if you go with libre or with Linux in general.
At Reading Univercity and the Attic Metro (Subway Construction) I know they use LibreOffice
wrong, too many students and universities use Linux and Libre
find me a supercomputer that uses Windows

Anyone who says that to him will laugh. In the courts, for years, run Libre office and in fact without any problems
For very simple users, the Libre office is also good. For power users and developers, ms is simply not playable. With vba running in the background and setting up applications on office suites, it just doesn't exist. And the price? 100 € / year for 5 computers and other 5 devices. So Libre is good too, but… for basic things
If you do simple basics libreoffice is fine of course when you do these simple and basic things why not go to a simple Google docs type. if you want it professionally, it is funny not to pay for office 365, that is, for something that will free your hands and you will do your job much faster and easier. and you will also have 1TB of space in the cloud.
