  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Apache OpenOffice??

    Surely you meant LibreOffice. OpenOffice has basically been dead for years, with no significant work going on.

    Lmao I've been doing a digital forensics class online, and it's always got VMs with ancient versions of software on it, so I got to discover what Apache OpenOffice was. Love that they have to use FOSS to teach us shit since Windows needs a subscription.

    TypoI almost wrote dogital forensics. Is that using dogs to find data? Sniff out that hard drive and get datadumping boy!

    It's an older image, not updated.

    OpenOffice was dead before it was transferred to Apache, so it’s not old enough to excuse.

    That Firefox logo is from 2019. Oracle killed OpenOffice in 2011. Like, they actually completely stopped all work on it. They intentionally killed it at least eight years before this image was made.

    I agree that it shouldn't be there. LibreOffice is the clear replacement.

    LibreOffice just doesn't roll of the tongue like OoenOffice though. Which really sucks. I even catch myself saying it when I mean LibreOffice.

    To expand further on your point, here are the releases for Apache Open Office (OO). We are at 4.1.6. the page for 4.1 release was last updated in 2014. It's been mainly small bug fixes since then.

    https://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/

    LibreOffice (LO) and Open Office were essentially the same application at OO 4.0 vs LO 4.1. LO had 3 major releases by 2023 before it went from 7 to 24. With the annual releases it is me difficult to gauge progress in the same way. But we are already at 26.2.

    All of the ones here are pretty old, so I can believe the meme is over 10 years old with mayve the firefox logo swapped out

    LibreOffice has been updated? Interface still looks like it was designed for Windows 95.

    It still looks and behaves like StarOffice.

    The templates they include look ancient as well. They do have a mediocre copy of Microsoft’s ribbon interface.
