General
We started in 2010 with OpenOffice.
Soon after that the LibreOffice fork developed
We adopted it as the development was much more active.
By 2018 the compatability with Microsoft "x" formats was 90% of the way there.
Install
It is in the normal repos.
Add the ppa for the latest.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
Writer
Very useful and a full range of scriptable command line options as well.
Calc
This is the Microsoft Excel of the Open Source World
Impress
Focus
On KDE/Kubuntu you occosionally open a window and nothing seem sto happen. The Writer or other LO application does not grab the focus even though it appears in the panel
To get around this you need to turn off focus stealing prevention.
See the picture to the right.
