Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
Have you actually tried LibreOffice in a while? The Ribbon UI hasn’t been experimental since LibreOffice 6.2, which was released in February 2019. It is a normal option, called Tabbed, in the User Interface settings under View > User Interface.
The date seems to be misleading. When you open the comments section and load all comments, you’ll see that there are quite a few comments that are 9 years old. The article is thus far older than what it’s saying, and it unfortunately showcases again how many people rely on very old (and in this case misleading) information about LibreOffice.
The page in question is the first search engine hit for me when searching “LibreOffice ribbon”. The official docs are not even on the first page. Looks like the docs need sone SEO love.
