What are they replacing office with? I've been using Office Libre but it's buggy AF. I can't use sheets on a second monitor because it freezes until I move it back the main monitor for example.

    I use libre office on a second monitor and its fine. That honestly does not sound like a problem with software. It should not care how the os displays it to hardware endpoints.

    Yeah so everything else works fine on it. I mean you should be able to exculsively use the second monitor without your laptop screen. Like software does determine all sorts of aspects of how it displays to an os but the os is deciding on display sources. software does not dictate that.

    Not sure what they're using, but OnlyOffice is pretty good

    Open Office and Only Office are the same thing? I'm confused.

    Yeah this is hard to explain but in my view you have what appears to be an empty reply and because of it, it looks like moonlights reply is yours. Ill try and paste it here.

    That's wild, looks fine on my phone. I'm using boost, but not the dyslexia font. Not sure that makes a difference, it shouldn't...?!

    yeah it could be the font. I think because there is nothing in it and you have the icon while moonlights has no icon it just sorta seems to merge together. Anyway that was why I was confused. It looked like you suggested something to yourself.

    Is eurooffice actually available for regular users somewhere? Not self hosting but like in managed nextcloud or similar?

    No, I don't think so. But it's based on only office which does have a desktop offline client version without the need for hosting a backend server. Havent researched enough to say for sure. Just read through a few news articles and the GitHub page (the cognitive dissonance with this project - great idea, yet host om MS service and uses MS docx formats...).
