That gives us a unique opportunity to build up the Linux app ecosystem. Specifically, office suites are going to be singled out first, whether you're a government, a company, or a non-profit working with EU offices. But the many open-source document suites we have today — LibreOffice, Collabora, ONLYOFFICE, and more — most still have many gaps that keep the experience from feeling really complete: low fidelity between editors, broken formatting, dated UI, poor use of AI, and real-time collaboration that feels bolted on rather than built in. Using ONLYOFFICE as a case study, we'll walk through three things: the engineering decisions we made to address these gaps, why those decisions made Linux users, and not Windows or Mac, our largest base, and what the rest of the Linux app ecosystem can take from any of it. If you are involved in the building of any kind of Linux app trying to win a serious user base, you are in the right room. Eeshaan Sawant works at the intersection of documentation, developer tooling, and community. At ONLYOFFICE, Eeshaan has served his time as an intern, a technical writer, and now has also gotten into Advocacy, helping users and developers get the most out of Docs and DocSpace. The Linux App Summit (LAS) brings the global Linux community together to learn, collaborate, and help grow the Linux application ecosystem. Through talks, panels, and Q&A sessions, we encourage attendees to share ideas, make connections, and join our goal of building a common app ecosystem.
