I'm going to note here that they're still doing all the tests for the flatpak and appimage versions. They said these should be updated in a week or so.
The integration of various apps is a huge bonus for me , plus the compatibility with ms office. Definitely going to try it out. Thank you for your hard work.
I started using it about a week ago. I love this office suite, I was using Libre Office and WPS Office but the integration with my system was just not good enough (using MX Linux) . I'm a huge user of dark themes and Libre office is just bad at it and in WPS dark themes are a joke. Only office comes with a dark theme integrated that works flawlessly, perhaps not a big deal but I need it since I work in a basement. Just like he said compatibility with Microsoft Office is just really good, no problems so far. I totally recommend using this office suite. The only not too bad thing I guess is that sometimes I want or need some templates but I have no idea how to install new ones nor where to get new ones. Nice review.
I think your problem with dark theme and LibreOffice is yes.. Actually YOUR problem, because my libreOffice is using the same GTK theme my Gnome is using... Which is very dark-mode...
@@arkvsi8142 I said not good integration with MY system, perhaps is my problem like u said. That's the thing with Linux, works fine with some distros but maybe it won't work properly with others.
@@arkvsi8142 but pages themselves remain eye-burning white. It's much better than WPS, sure, but it still fatigues my eyes very quickly. Also MS compatibly is pretty meh, to say the least, so there's that.
Since I do Computer Science, we are required to use Linux. A lot of people use WSL, and the rest use either some Ubuntu or Arch based distro, I'm the only person that uses Fedora ofc.
I've seen no other app like this in my life which is available on Linux, Windows and Android too! With cloud connect integration. I first used to save my files in OneDrive and Google Drive separately, but since I installed and started using it, it made my work easier! I don't need old school MS Office to edit my documents anymore.... I love OnlyOffice!
Just want to share a random tip: Remember that you can use portrait orientation in powerpoint or similar. I find it's often the simplest/best way to create pdfs with both text and graphics. 😊
I love onlyoffice, i switched to it nearly a year ago now. I only wish it had better gtk/qt integration. I also wish it didn't use the old GTK file picker, which is really outdated, ugly, and hard to navigate imo
Although the problem with gtk intergration is that it is forced. For example gtk intergration ruined libre office bcs it forces the systems darktheme upon the app. Wich means that for example libreoffice writer dark mode looks terrible and unusable bcs the icons are darked out. And there is no way to fix this other than a workaround.
Two things I want in onlyoffice that will make it a better office suite in comparison to WPS office and Libre office 1. Adding a toolbar in the bottom for showing word count for the document. 2. Adding option to edit styles (heading 1,2,3, normal, caption etc.) So that similar style and formatting can be applied in the word document. Hope they add soon. 📣
Correct... People lying or inexperienced put out a bunch of baloney...WPS Office is the most MS Office compatible. But Softmaker FreeOffice or the paid one are superb except no insert video possibility
Dude, I actually wanted animation and arm support and the better performance for multiple documents. If they Add the function fitting from Excel, make Videos play while presenting (which Powerpoint doesn't even manage to), make the multiplayer editing more useable and maybe add tex support, they're just the best office suite out there imo.
It doesn't have native theming so they'd have to implement colors on their own if they did it. Personally, I'm fine with how it looks but I understand why people might prefer it with theming so it can better adjust to the desktop's overall theme
Hey Brandon, this is really looking great! I‘ll try it, especially since we have the same use case (university) and sometimes, using emacs org-mode for writing smaller notes/texts may be a bit overkill😅 Also, the PDF features look really awesome! Btw, how‘s it going with your studies?
Just tried the new version - still not for me. Still lags and struggles with particularly large spreadsheets and lacks basic find / replace all functionality. Not to mention I've had issues with formatting between it and MS Office. WPS Office continues to be my preferred office suite on Linux. Closest experience to MS Office, best compatibility (in my use case). It's sad people seem to shun it because it's Chinese and closed source. But if you want something installed on your own server with docker, OnlyOffice is the way to go, I agree.
I don't think this is closed source, though. For me it works very well even in complex academic texts, and I've ditched MS Office altogether on my work Mac. Complex spreadsheets are traditionally the achilles' heel of any MS Office alternative; nothing that I know of provides a fool-proof substitute.
It's funny to find this video when I just installed it yesterday. I gotta say, Libre did a lot of good for me, but you just need to adapt yourself to the MS formats. At least I don't have to boot up my VM. Still waiting for the days where Microsoft decides to release MS Office to Linux
My only issue with OnlyOffice is visual, I wish they used QT or GTK GUI bindings so they fit in with Linux desktop better; even if it's just for the window decorations. It feels like a second class citizen with it's own custom UI.
@@TechHut he is playing with you because you messed up Java with Javascript (which are completely different, even if the names are similar) and you got Visual Studio Code spelled wrong.
Comparison between so the office programs needed. Compatibility also with Android? Only office and WPS Office are both available on Android. Still undecided about which program to prefer. Compatibility with the Microsoft default office programs odd needed.
its not an opinion...its a sad fact (sad because its Chinese and stays open behind the scened even if you close it. I close it via activity monitor. But it is the most compatible with MS.... But I prefer SoftMaker FreeOffice for presentations from scratch for its awesome transitions.
I want to like OnlyOffice, but I am somewhat disappointed in the inability to easily change your default font settings. From what I have read its a bit of a pain and I'm really surprised its not baked into the software itself to do via the menu interface.
It's the best MS Office alternative I've ever come across. But, unfortunately it can't render Bengali (my native language) fonts correctly. This is the only reason I'm using WPS office instead of Onlyoffice.
I wish you could do some more stuff with images like in libreoffice, copy and pasting images outside the app, right click > save image, that sorta thing would be very welcome.
Same here ✋, no RTL supports is a deal breaker.. can't use it without Hebrew and there's so many Arabic or others languages who can't use it, it's so basic feature.
I spend almost entirety of my work hours on office suites, and all the shortcuts and functions I use in office are just ingrained into me. and using other suite always feels like learning curve since i could just press few buttons in MS and I'm done with all the formatting and data processing. for others I can't use keyboard since all the shortcut are different and even using mouse I have to dig around where is all functions located some just straight up not available. I can go through that learning curve and switch on my personal PC but I can't on my office pc and not on my clients pc, that being said in my experience onlyoffice is absolutely best alternative suite on the linux side.
Not if you are doing Powerpoint type stuff.... The winner there would be WPS, and if doing them from scratch not needing Powerpoint Compatibility then its Softmaker FreeOffice
Sadly, all Office suites, except Softmaker Office, fail with the one essential feature : Having more than one Word/Excel doc open in a separate tab at same time. It's a deal breaker.
It's noticeably very slow when running lookup formulas over long ranges, and doesn't show word/char count easily at the bottom left section of the writer. These two reasons, especially the former one, are the main reasons I am not daily driving Onlyoffice. Stuck with WPS for now!
How can you in general know which Linux desktop is running? In specific, I just installed Endeavouros with a few desktops and I don't have a glue, which of them is currently active!
Correct me if I am wrong here, but macros in OO are written in JS instead of VBA (which is a positive for me), but if I share a document with an OO macro to someone using MS Office, I am assuming it will not run be converted to VBA. Other than that potential issue, I would happily ditch MS's bloated suite of proprietary nightmare.
My problem with Only Office is using it with languages written right to left, which is pretty basic feature, that so dumb they don't support that (so many people that using those languages can't use Only Office because of it). beside that overall Only Office looks great, better than LibreOffice that I'm using. p.s: LibreOffice also has annoying problem with languages like when you switch the keyboard from English to a different language all the shortcut keys doesn't work (i.e Ctrl + Z = undo, Ctrl + X = cut, Ctrl + V = paste, Ctrl + S = save, Ctrl + B = bold, etc) which is also basic feature but unlike Only Office's problem it's still usable.
Libreoffice has different shortcuts depending on the language ... Who the Hell thought that was a good idea! but crlx x or ctrl c should always be the same (at least its the same between English and German )
@@wumwum42 In other languages it's not work at all... Shortcuts need to work by their place on the keyboard (like any other software in the world) with ASCII or something, so yes... who the hell thought it's a good idea?!
Only Office looks good, but won’t work for me - I couldn’t get it access or save documents on my Synology NAS server (smb share). Also, only Excel has tables with structured references - time for the other office suites to catch ip with that.
I have tried OnlyOffice, it the first opensource office so far that begin the paragraph in the right way when typing in Thai. Unfortunately, it still breaks the line in Thai wrong. As of now, only LibreOffice break the line of words in Thai correctly but begin the paragraph wrong. Now I still must keep using Microsoft Office in Windows as is the only software in the entire industry that can both break the line and begin the paragraph in Thai correctly. I'm at lost to find alternative in Linux or even Mac OS due to that. Other than that, OnlyOffice is amazing, I wish I can switch to it soon but with that issue it will be the same experience as WPS, Softmaker Freeoffice, and Microsoft Office for Mac all over again.
Great, BUT they still don't have hyphenation in the 21st century, which is a MUST for writers. Their customer support suggests we use dashes "-" to hyphenate manually? Really?!
The only thing that I have issue with is the inability to manipulate individual cells in a table in the writer applications. Aside from this small point, every office suite I've used have felt basically the same for any purpose I've needed it for. Libreoffice doesn't even allow the deletion of single cells, only entire rows or columns. Onlyoffice isn't much better. It does allow the removal of individual cells, but it shifts the entire row so there's a space on the right side instead of simply removing the one you don't want. In spite of this, it retains the categorical alignment of the cells in spite of their new position. Very confusing. I very much wish there was an option to modify cells in the same manner you would a row or column. I can't imagine a reason this wouldn't have been implemented in even the earliest versions.
Hey guys. I just gave onlyoffice a go and I loved it. The only problem I faced was video and gif images integration in presentations. The videos doesn't start on their own and gif gets converted to a simple image. Can anyone help please?
Can Open Office import MS Office.xlsx files? I was using Libre Office and it could not duplicate all of the functions/features of the XML files in Microsoft’s products. Mainly I was testing Excel and I would get errors/notifications like the MS spreadsheet had too many cells, rows, or columns to import. Online, MS explained there are differences in what their XML based files can do vs the Open Document Files.
Im having troubles with onlyoffice while working with regional fonts ( which are not displayed correctly ) , whereas libre office and text editor is displaying them correctly Hope it is addressed !!!
Although the interface is nice compared to compartmentalized LibreOffice, you highlighted the incompatibilities with pdf files first. That turned me off from OnlyOffice instantly.
It can't and won't be the best office suite without the basic support for RTL languages and other basic stuff such as title pages, different footers, better bibliography support...etc!
Sorry, but this is definitely not the best Office for Linux. Have ylu ever tried Softmaker Office or it's free version FreeOffice? It's much better. You can use it for free or you can buy tbe full version - it's up to you. And no matter if which OS, it is always the same - Android, Linux, Mac or Windows. Even iOS... It's super compatible with docx or odt, fast and it easy to install... and with the repository it's always up to date. I love it and use it every day.

Is there a relational database included such as Access?
It can't and won't be the best office suite without the basic support for RTL languages and other basic stuff such as title pages, different footers, better bibliography support...etc!
If it respected gtk themes, id use it
No support for RTL langs yet?
Soon!
@@mikhailkorotaev2102 it would be epic
this is not "free as in beer" software right?
When this is available on Android I will quickly switch to it unless someone has good one to recommend until then.
The best? Questionable.. still doesn't support RTL languages.. even though it's been requested for over 5 years..
Sorry, but this is definitely not the best Office for Linux. Have ylu ever tried Softmaker Office or it's free version FreeOffice? It's much better. You can use it for free or you can buy tbe full version - it's up to you. And no matter if which OS, it is always the same - Android, Linux, Mac or Windows. Even iOS... It's super compatible with docx or odt, fast and it easy to install... and with the repository it's always up to date. I love it and use it every day.
Shame they don't support RTL yet after all this time
