The DesktopEditors github repo appears to have actual releases now, with multiple download options for various Linux distros, plus Windows and MacOS. While some refinement may still be needed, this represents a usable release without requiring manual building.

Do they support actual standards, or are they insisting on implementing a broken version of Microsoft's format?

Edit: to answer myself, they are still missing proper ODF support (https://github.com/Euro-Office/DocumentServer/issues/114). And by the rest of the issue board, they should have realised Microsoft will never let them have parity on OOXML.

    I do not understand why they used OnlyOffice as a starting point rather than LibreOffice. I'm guessing because it can be embedded in web shit? I can see why NextCloud pushed for it.

    Because every other option is objectively worse in one way or another.

    The only upside to other options is basically just a moral one. And at a point you kinda have to stop giving a damn about morals and just use what works if you don't want to endlessly waste time and tax payer money.

    It just is what it is unfortunately.

    This is great news, thanks for sharing! Personally, I'm still waiting for a Flatpak or an at least an Appimage.
