My LibreOffice install broke and there's this Calligra software that caught my eye, should I switch or just reinstall?

Win10 x64 but considering switching that as well btw

Update: I tried Calligra and it crashed in a minute, reinstalling LibreOffice worked tho

  • Depends.

    Calligra has a great interface.

    I’m unsure however how it does with importing/exporting documents, and how well it works with OpenDocument formats.

    LibreOffice can edit my ClarisWorks documents from 35 years ago and can also open and edit my OpenOffice documents and display them exactly as they were 19 years ago.

  • Trying out new things is always good. Best case you find new software you like, worst case you learned something new.

    Sometimes limitations can foster creativity and end up with an even better workflow in the end by forcing you to reevaluate how you do the thing. Sometimes it doesn't work out and that's fine too but at least you didn't pass on a potential opportunity.
