To me it means letting people know that Mint is free and comes with Libre Office, also free.
LibreOffice works on MacOS too!
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC and/or Windows 10 IoT LTSC end of life: 2032.
We good.
Office is not supported on those platforms at all so won’t make a difference to your support.
Windows 10 will become unsupported but I still anticipate it working fine even without updates. I suspect office will work the same on existing machines.
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.
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.
I forced it on our office over maybe 15 years ago, I’ve finally just about stopped receiving complaints. The vast majority of the push back was document compatibility, but not in the way you think. The problem was the original document was created by a fucktard or opened by one, so many people don’t know how to correctly format a document using styles, know how to use page breaks, line breaks, etc etc. that’s us recieving documents and creating documents. To be fair I didn’t initially fully understand this as well, but it literally took me 4 hours to read the manual.
Other problems include Microsoft’s fuckery using a supposedly open standard and allow proprietary code/content within the same open standard.
The number of people who move text around by adding spaces is too damn high!
Who needs align right when you can just hold the space-bar till it’s there, or if you are a pro tab then space for perfect alignment
And don’t get me started with special macros and basic code that only works in ms office.
Databases basically built inside excel 😐
Or OnlyOffice. It lacks a lot of features but is an easier sell in a lot of cases because of the much more modern interface.
onlyoffice was on my list, but the privacy rating was a dealbreaker for me.
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?
just read that the company behind only office seems to be linked to/owned by a russian company (new comminication technologies)
app manager can scan the APK for trackers and other program libraries. it won’t work reliably though if the app has been obfuscated

365 is not equals office ltsc. fuck off with the clickbait titles.
laughs in Office 2007 and laughs even harder in LibreOffice
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
But all of that is just delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later, you’ll have to move to Windows 11 if you want to keep your PC secure and protected and reliably run the applications you need, including Office.
Lol, no.
