I am currently using LibreOffice Version 6.3 with Mac OSX 10.15 ( aka Catalina ).
Can anyone confirm that this version of LO will be compatible with the recently released OSX 11.1 (aka Big Sur ) if I upgrade. Thanks
OSX 11.1 (aka Big Sur )
Big Sur is macOS 11.0 (current sub-release 11.0.1)
Hello,
no - probably you won’t get that confirmation since almost all reports tell, that you need to install version 7.0.x, if you are running Big Sur. As far as I know, right now it is not fully understood, why version <7 does not run on Big Sur.
(Some reports tell 6.4.7.2 running on macOS 11.0)
Opaque, Thank You for the info / link - tho its not looking too good is it. I did note that someone claimed to be able to run LO V6.4 with Big Sur, notwithstanding the reported problem with Retina display ! What to do ? I’ll probably hold fire with upgrading for a while in the hope that later versions of Big Sur will be more compatible
I had LibreOffice 6.4.7.2 running on BigSur. Now on LibreOffice 7.0.4.2, but for me the blurry font problem does not exist, so it is no hard decision for me. From my perspective: Don’t expect macOS / Apple / BigSur in later releases will change the way you can run LibreOffiice 6.3 or 6.4.
OK - I’ll go that way, especially if the Retina display problem is not a complication. Instinctively, I know you’re right about Apple so I won’t look to them for a solution. Thanks again for the advice
FYI 7.0.4.2 doesn’t run on my Mac which is still on High Sierra. I have tried all suggestions received thus far – safe mode, quarantine. Full disk access has been granted. Still won’t launch. I fear LO will be losing a big portion of its Mac users. I know I’ve had to go back to MS.
I fear LO will be losing a big portion of its Mac users.
yep - it’s Apple’s greatest success story that all users of their products blame others for problems having wit apple’s products.
@opaque You’re totally right! I will rephrase my comment: I fear Apple will be losing me because of the increasingly airless ecosystem they are oppressing me with. Just spent some time looking at “Windows computers to replace iMac”
