Microsoft Office is a parasite holding people hostage with extortionate subscription fees

    Well… I don’t really have that option because of slide sharing and whatnot, the system requires pptx format, even for professors. Technically I’m not even supposed to use non-MS software, lol.

    But I think you’re right. It’s getting to be a headache messing with OnlyOffice w/ master slides. Libre might end up being my only option simply because of its ability to work within my pptx centric work.

      While it’s still early days, you might want to take a look at EuroOffice, a OnlyOffice fork to avoid their sketchiness and supported by a great number of organizations.

      That’s crazy that it’s because of slide sharing, when doing it this way makes it so much easier to share!

      Doesn’t suprise me though, they always make the worst decisions.

        Hehe, yes, that and one drive shoved down our throats because they pay for it all. I can’t even get them to approve my Linux system to receive school email, have to do browser Outlook.

        I’ll still consider these options if I’m ever back in doing academic research and going to conferences, though.
