we put apache's open office on all boxes (windaz as well as linux), ok so 
it doesnt have "publisher" but seriously, its 21st century and even M$ 
doesnt support it last I heard

-AOO because I've used it since forever, waaaaayyy back when it was the 
original sun's star office, it's suited my needs perfectly and the 
businesses since, so they dont make releases every 3 months, only when 
they need to, IMHO *that* is a good thing, shows maturity.

-Libreoffice, did look at it twice some years apart, despite its core  
code is actually open office, they made it bloatware, it ran slower than 
M$ office and way slower than AOO, NFI how they butchered it that badly, 
so we stick to what we know.

You are wrong about that, but support is ending soon

There is nothing like Access either

LO is fast on my system. I use Linux Mint and since Libre Office is 
native to it I haven't bothered to install OO.

Linux Mint 22.3
