In this week&#39;s #Linux and #OpenSource news show, we have some trouble brewing for our Open Source office suites, with OnlyOffice beefing with EuroOffice and Nextcloud, and COllabora having problems with the Document Foundation, the entity that manages LibreOffice. Oh and we also have good news, like crucial stuff coming to Wayland, Linux passing 5% market share for gaming, and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eweMlWewcVg

@thelinuxEXP The OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice split shows how messy open-source office suites still are. It’s wild how community and big companies mix, especially with Nextcloud trying to unite them. Hitting 5% Linux gaming share feels like a win, but I wonder how much is Proton vs native games. Curious what you think about Wayland—will it smooth gaming or cause more headaches?

@thelinuxEXP at this point you should call the sponsored segments "tip of the week". If MS can do it, so can you 😇

@thelinuxEXP I really hope the various *office* forks/clones/rivals sort their shit out, especially when it comes to real time collaborative document editing. I hate relying on MS Office at the non-profit I advise, but none of the options work well enough yet, but I hope with the US Tech Bros going the way they are we might be at a tipping point.
