ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors: now pre-installed on risiOS

About risiOS

risiOS is a Linux distro developed by Seattle-based team, the USA, based on Fedora with the default GNOME desktop.

risiOS is able to deliver on the latest cutting-edge features without breaking things mid-release cycle. Some of the modern features risiOS inherits from Fedora include BTRFS, Wayland (even on NVIDIA hardware), Pipewire, and more.

The distro elements include:

risiWelcome to help first-time users install drivers and codecs, setup FlatHub and RPMFusion, and find resources related to risiOS.
risiTweaks to change themes and layout settings, manage GNOME extensions and installers.
risiScript to generate a GUI wizard for bash/shell scripts and make things like installing third-party apps and system configuration easy.
Web apps (fork of Linux Mint’s web app manager with security measures) to discover new web apps and conveniently add them.

ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors pre-installed

In the beginning of September, the developers updated ISO of risiOS 36 (build 20220903) and made ONLYOFFICE desktop app a pre-installed office suite.

Cameron Knauff, Founder of risiOS:

We are now partnering with ONLYOFFICE to pre-install it on risiOS. ONLYOFFICE is a great office suite with an easy user interface, excellent Microsoft Office document compatibility, and everything else you need from an office suite.
