LibreOffice team drums for switching to Linux

The “End of 10” campaign started by providers from the open source sector, with which you want to make users say goodbye not only from Windows 10, but also from Microsoft’s ecosystem with the end of support.

LibreOffice wants to convince Windows users from Linux

With the Document Foundation, another group from the world of free software has joined the “End of 10” campaign launched by the creators of KDE-LINUX. The Document Foundation is developing the LibreOffice Office alternative, i.e. the free and free available office package, which has also been available for Windows for many years.

In your Notification of connection to the “End of 10” campaign The developers of LibreOffice said that nobody was obliged to continue holding Windows. With Linux and LibreOffice there is a better alternative to which Windows 10 users could change, according to the argument. With LibreOffice, Linux and other open source products, control is put back into the hands of users, institutions, public institutions and companies. In combination, Linux and LibreOffice could offer a powerful, data -friendly and future -proof alternative to Windows and the ecosystem from Microsoft 365.

When switching to Windows 11, it is not just about security updates, but the users would also increase their dependence on Microsoft because the cloud integration is reinforced and the compulsion to use Microsoft accounts and other services is increased. This would result in higher costs from subscription and license models and the user loses control of dealing with his computer and his data, the open source developers warn.

A bigger problem is also that tens of millions of PCs that are actually still in good work can be made by the changed hardware requirements of Microsoft “Obsolet” and thus an electronic waste. In a blog entry, the Document Foundation also mentions a number of steps with which companies and private users can prepare the switch to Linux and LibreOffice.
