@Trivial Einstein I have MS Office 365 strictly because it gives me and 5 of my family members 1 TB of backup space. I have tried to force myself to use MS Office (via WUI). It is just to obscure. I prefer LibreOffice and my Open Source Tools.
I have used Gnu/Linux as my Daily Driver for over 30 years so I am used to not relying on MS products. Today I use Fedora 41 on my laptop, Arch on my Workstation and use Rocky 9 on my VPS. I have worked with Windows systems at work, and for friends though Windows is just not reliable enough for day to day use in my opinion.
Although on Windows (work pc) it's got this weird thing going on where if you're in dark mode on your pc, it won't correctly render some in-doc elements and some stuff will literally just be invisible. Switching to a light theme manually doesn't fix all of it either and despite following online guides I can't get some of it to go into light mode at all.
No such issues on Linux, where I'm also using a system-wide dark theme.
@Gegenwind@chaos.social We have no plans to put any AI inside LibreOffice. But for people who want such functionality, the community is working on (purely optional!) third-party extensions, such as: https://blog.documentfoundation.
@Luna @Trivial Einstein No, it will not force any AI on you and LibreOffice has no intention at this time to add AI support to LibreOffice.
There are community projects that would allow you to use AI if you wanted to. Most importantly locally hosted AI such as Ollama or Llama.cpp so your information is not being shared with a corporation.
