I highly suggest you to read “Enshittification” by Cory Doctorow, especially the new and updated version.

They stripped our freedom to own our devices. We need a revolution.

Yes, LibreOffice uses its own custom rendering engine and that’s not the most performant…

But you have to understand that before LibreOffice there was OpenOffice.org, which itself comes from an old German application called StarOffice.

So, let’s all remember that LibreOffice still has that legacy to carry on.
