Let’s back our own EU Tech industry. At & The Big Fish, we’re exploring a move to European IT solutions, like; • TUXEDO OS (instead of Windows) • ONLYOFFICE (instead of Microsoft Office) • Nextcloud Hub, EU-hosted (instead of Google Drive) Admittedly a bit opportunistic and I know large organizations can’t pivot like this easily. But SMEs and startups can! Using this stack or joining this movement?

    They don’t shoot themselves in the foot like LibreOffice and ship the Ribbon theme by default.

    The default LibreOffice theme sucks if you grew up with MS Office 2007+.

    Also it’s more easy to get support for it. For LibreOffice you either have to know a vendor offering customisation and support, or have to search for it actively on the Website and then choose one of the 3 vendors going to their Website etc…

    In the meantime you’ve already purchased an OnlyOffice license for your company with cloud services

        Most 08/15 users don’t know that an alternative theme exists. They just see the crappy drop down UI and switch right back.

        At least a selection prompt on the first start would be a good idea, instead of burying it in some Menus

          The selection prompt exist. It’s just implemented in a way that’s less than ideal. On first start a popup appears informing you about the existence of other UI layouts.

          There are just two problems with it:

          1. you can’t actually set the UI in the pop-up. Instead you have to click a link in the pop-up which takes you to the corresponding settings page.
          2. the prompt shows up after the UI has already loaded. So it doesn’t read as helpful at first glance. To most people, it seems to be an annoying pop-up that keeps you from accessing the app, that you can already clearly see in the background, instead. So they close it without reading it.

            Yep, I use libre office and despise the archaic file based menus. I had no idea there was a ribbon based alternative.

            Exactly as you described I probably dismissed any tedious popups that blocked me from diving straight into the program.
