With the release of LibreOffice on the App Store, TDF will now attempt to draw a clear line between its consumer and business segments. So while LibreOffice was sold in the past, this new version on the Mac App Store will be TDF's first time putting it up for sale. The firm charged $10 for the standard version of the app, but also offered technical support for three years. The previous version of the app that was supported by the aforementioned Collabora came at a cost.
Educating enterprises about FOSS is not a trivial task and we have just started our journey in this direction. The objective is to fulfill the needs of individual and enterprise users in a better way, although we know that the positive effects of the change will not be visible for some time. But even a 2015 MacBook pro like mine, with an i5, 16 gb of ram, and an ssd performs incredibly well, and should continue to do so for a few more years.We are grateful to Collabora for having supported LibreOffice on Apple’s Mac App Stores for quite a long time. But the advantage there with the new macs is that they can also run IOS apps, which gives you a lot more options. I really really want one of the M1 macs, but can't do that until they get bootcamp working. I definitely like the greater device integration. I can't count the times I've gone to do something in Windows and wait, it doesn't behave as expected, and oh duh, I was using the Mac Voiceover command. But once up and running, it works like a charm. I know there are some on this site who have been able to go through Bootcamp setup on their own, but at least to get set up, I needed sighted help.
But unless you have one of the new M1 macs, Bootcamp is amazing, and you can do the things that work well for you on the mac side, and easily switch if you run in to something that gives you problems. All of the tools I use for that are only Windows compatible. The problem is that many people are looking at this as either or, when there are those of us who use and love both. The stuff I have done on the mac sounds way better. I know this is also possible in Windows, but never learned how to do it.Īs far as word processing, I used Pages through college, and that was before they had put much work in to it, but even then, I was able to get decent looking documents from it, and able to export to word, so it really works well.Īs far as content creation, I have done audio editing on both Windows using both APH Studio Recorder and Goldwave, and on the mac using Amadeus Pro. Plus being able to launch apps and such with just the press of a hotkey. I like that you can use the keyboard commander to set up tasks for things that might, like others have said, require a more complicated gesture.
