I still install Office 2007 in older machines. It may not have the newest features but still does the job and it's enough for most people.
Also, laughs harder-er in Google Workspace
google workspace? why would you upload your (and others?) documents to google? that's no better than microsoftcs online office

Wow, that's super disappointing but not incredibly surprising. The developers don't seem as transparent as other projects I've interacted with.
I always install from their github, which I speculate (assume? hope?) does not include these trackers because they would be visible. Is there any way to reliably find out?
app manager can scan the APK for trackers and other program libraries. it won't work reliably though if the app has been obfuscated

I really don’t like Microsoft, but the two products I think Microsoft got mostly right are Microsoft Office and Visual Studio. I really can’t find comparable products.
Open office and forks feel like Microsoft Office 97. While usable, it takes me twice as long to do things. I would almost prefer to use a LaTeX editor over word. Excel? Idk
From a business perspective, it doesn’t make sense to switch to libre office. W10 support also ends 10/25. It is highly irresponsible for an IT department to continue to use EOL products so they should be changing to W11 and new Microsoft office
For individuals, I mean…. I just installed a W10 VM to give me more time to find a Linux compatible alternative to turbo tax and to use visual studio so idk
I hate every minute I need to use VS. Jetbrains IDEs work infinitely better for me

To me it means letting people know that Mint is free and comes with Libre Office, also free.
Works on MacOS too!

My experience was with C#. What’s your language and which IDE do you use?

Then pick one DB and learn about it. The internet is full of documentation, tutorial, hands-on examples and even youtube videos.
I know that I should, and I’m technical enough to understand it. But the point I was making is that many people are not even close to technically proficient to learning it.

nowadays I use Java, Rust, Python, for these I use IDEA, RustRover and Pycharm. but when I used C# and C++, I didn't like VS, and instead used Reshaper and CLion

You can safely use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC or Windows 10 IoT LTSC perfectly safely until 2032--as that's when the LTSC will stop receiving updates.
But the versions will always work. They simply won't be protected against new threats or bugs.
You will continue to receive Windows Defender updates. I have a Windows 8.1 tablet that keeps updating Microsoft Defender antivirus. It's only used to connect to RTSP streams for music.

It means it's time for businesses to figure out how to use LibreOffice
There is also only office looks modern behaves almost like Microsoft office.

Office is not supported on those platforms at all so won't make a difference to your support.

just read that the company behind only office seems to be linked to/owned by a russian company (new comminication technologies)
