I don't think I have ever seen clear OpenOffice pricing.

just to be clear, this is basically an open source cloud version of office, at least in function? If this is the case, and it is integrated into NC, would it only be the web based view of NC?

OnlyOffice has desktop and mobile clients, as well.

If you use Windows, OnlyOffice is handled by Chocolatey. If you are on Linux, you can use Snaps or AppImage, or RPM, or Deb.

Chocolatey looks like linux style app store for windows. Is that about right?

That's correct. It is the primary Windows package manager. It's the official one promoted by Microsoft, it is used by them for some official Windows packages, and it is now officially being integrated into the OS.

No issue here, so far. Fedora 29 with Cinnamon and it just worked.
Using the snap install in this case.
Working well on Windows 10 too.

I'd rather seem them competing against each other so we get better products. I think more innovation comes from competition.
