5·3 days agoI never tried looking into UI options, I use just OnlyOffice nowadays but LibreOffice should consider turning that on by default if it’s an option.
OnlyOffice also has a 10/10 screen when you open it, instantly asking whether you want to open a text document, PDF, make a slideshow etc. It’s just very polished and they actually put effort into the UI.

32·3 days agoI’ll give you an example since you clearly don’t understand heuristics.
Look how OnlyOffice highlights selected buttons with a light gray tint.
LibreOffice on the other hand highlights them with very strong blue color, which draws the users attention and distracts them from the document.
There are many more very bad design choices that LibreOffice makes, but it’s just a cluttered mess in general and can really put in some work to hide away all those buttons. Yes if you know where they are and use them every single day then it’s more efficient, but it takes up a lot of (mind) space to see all those buttons all the time.

2·4 days agoThey can develop multiple UI’s. One for normal users and a classic one for people who like everything without a single menu bar or drop down menu to abstract the clutter away

4·4 days agoEven for USians it’s pretty common to be flooded with Eurovision news on papers like TheGuardian. It feels like the only reason people care is because the media keeps covering it and thus people “have to see the thing everyone is talking about.”

Also yes the founder and owner is Israeli.
Seeing how you take great pride in mentioning the distro you use (by the way) I fully recommend using Gentoo so you can one-up those Arch peasants. That is about all the practical use you’re going to get out of it though.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite just delivered over a petabyte of ISOs in a single month
1·6 days agoWhy is Mint wasting their spot as the recommendation for Windows users? Is it simply no longer developed or are the devs set in their ways of the UI having to look like Windows7?
Also it’s getting confusing with Zorin and Bazzite and even Aurora which is a Bazzite desktop spinoff as a recommendation.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I Tried Switching to Linux for 157 Days - BasicallyHomeless
65·7 days agoI’ve read on Lemmy that Bazzite also has some issues. I believe GN chose it as their testing distro too and had some issue. Especially for non-gaming related tasks. Aurora is also a recommendation which is supposedly a general purpose bazzite but I’m not sure if that then has gaming issues.
Someone should really do a distro test where they test the out-of-the-box functionality of all distros on different tasks

3·7 days agoYes but audio drivers still seem to be a common issue for everyone. That should really just be working out of the box by now it’s insane.
His biggest issue was Premiere Pro not working on Linux, and Davinci Resolve not supporting the AAC Audio codec which VLC recorded in which he then wasted a ton of time on to get it to work and eventually tried to vibe-code his own video editor which didn’t really work out so then he purchased Davinci Resolve premium to get AAC support.
Nobody cares about a Nobel Prize. He buys up vaccines using his “charity” and then puts them all behind a patent wall. And bill uses his influence to do capitalist psyops, like doing climate change denial through channels like Kurzgesagt.




















I don’t think LibreOffice is ‘bad’ either, the functionality is great and the foss license is superior to Onlyoffice
But when I compare it to Word and OnlyOffice (especially OnlyOffice since it’s free and open source) it lacks that polish and good default settings.
Not everything has to be to be VIM, good defaults are very important especially for novice users. And OnlyOffice has understood that very well.
I would like for LibreOffice to succeed. Therefore I hope they take some design cues from OnlyOffice or have a good UI developer even come up with something better. Basically I hope the guy in the post is going to town and heavily modernizes the current default LibreOffice layout.
