LibreOffice, an office suite from the Document Foundation contains all the features you'd expect in an office suite, including (but not limited to) the ability to create text, spreadsheet, and presentation documents. So why aren't more people using it? In this video, Jay discusses some of the unreasonable stigma LibreOffice suffers from. Is LibreOffice inferior to Microsoft Office? Well, Jay wrote an entire book with LibreOffice and naturally, has some thoughts!
