LibreOffice tells businesses: Get off Community version, you are hurting devs

Re:LibreOffice tells businesses: Get off Community version, ... by jrh206 on Sunday February 07, 2021 @11:05AM (#26055885)

Prompted by this comment, I tried to search for the 'for business' link. I couldn't find it. I looked around the blog, the document foundation website, and the LibreOffice website.

I eventually search for 'business' on the LibreOffice website, and found this article: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business...

Now I see that this article is linked in the 'Download' menu.

Even being on this page, it's not clear what they want me to do (unless I read the whole page, but c'mon).

I'm with you, if they want more people to use the Enterprise edition they need to do a better job of educating people that it exists.

I read the page, and I'm still not clear what they want me to do. Do they want me to buy something from one of their partners? If so, what do they want me to buy, and why is it better (either for me or the developers) than just using the free LibreOffice?

I actually _do_ need a document and spreadsheet suite which works on Linux, and I would pay for one which works well. At the moment I kind of get by between Google Docs (generally reliable, functionality often not quite there) and LibreOffice (lots of functionality, UI feels clunky, sometimes crashes). If LibreOffice are offering me something that makes my life better, I will likely buy it.
