That’s great to hear. It’s a nice little program suite for at home, and I hope one day it can compete against Google/Microsoft’s offerings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For 90% of the public that is not attached to a major business, corporation or institution .... Libreoffice is more than enough.
And even for small offices and small groups or companies, LibreOffice is more than enough.
The only difference comes when you have to set up a mass system with hundreds or thousands or systems and people to interconnect an office system do the big companies opt for Microsoft office.
They just need what Collabora and Onlyoffice do, but actually integrated into Libreoffice not some weird online suite.
Sadly all of our huge customers use MS Office and we have to dogfeed ourselves with the whole MS 365 suite. That's 70€ per month per user down the holes of Microsoft execs.
If it would scale to enterprise level that’s a game changer. It would lead to Linux just clobbering the pc market space.
I’m forced into Office suite at my work and I have to fight it.

Lol.
I would say that LibreOffice could potentially be more important than just a competitor to Google/MS.
With Google's offering being cloud based and MS pushing the same way, in 10 years LO could be the main office suite that's fully available offline.
That absolutely astounds me but your right. Especially crazy considering at any point something could happen to your internet then you’re fucked.
It can easily compete with Google. It is much better imo. Only thing Google does better is the document sharing. MS Office is a different thing.
