Yep - I switched from Office to LibreOffice - started with Open Office but LibreOffice is a superior product.
“I switched from Office to LibreOffice “
I still carry around my MS Office 2003 disc, and hold on to it like grim death. When we move, in my carry-in is my jewelry, important papers, Office 2003, and flash drive with my recipes.
I use both, thank God (made web site with them). But to print you must deal with that business model, which is akin to buying a SUV for 18k but having to pay 8k for each replacement tire, and maybe now even by able to use reman carts (disallow updates).
Brother laser using remans fine for me, plus HP 8210 inkjet ($100 renewed). 4 Ebay 952Xl reman carts (with very large black) under $20. I still have many 950 reman carts for my previous 8610, which I suspect a HP update prevented from me using anymore.
