However, after five years’ separation, the two office suites are starting to drift apart - and most of the increasing difference between the two is due to innovations in LibreOffice. Both are supported by libraries of templates and extensions, and, if one acquires a new feature, the other frequently adds the feature in the next release. They have identical system requirements and feature sets. All the same, the differences are growing, and LibreOffice has at least eleven advantages over OpenOffice – see the list below.īoth of these free office suites are descendants of (just don’t ask in a crowd of Linux users which is true descendant of unless you’re fond of flame wars). Even people who know them well have trouble distinguishing one from the other, and, when you find a difference, it is often trivial.

In addition, there are several other office suite applications you can use, such as Calligra or Google Docs, so you are not bound to either LibreOffice or WPS.Also see previous: Apache OpenOffice vs. In fact, you can have the two suites installed on your computer, and that uses far less space than Microsoft Word does. The dilemma between which to install on your system may not really matter. Conclusionīoth office suites are great and perform very well.
