Much better. Any chance to add install instructions for the Linux, not been around enough distros to know the difference between the various installs. Seems to be a barrier for some people to use AOO instead of the default office suite.
The method I use on a new install is; sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove cd en-GB/DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb cd desktop-integration sudo dpkg -i *.deb Something like that, actually think I do; cd en-GB/DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb sudo dpkg -i desktop-integration/*.deb Would be helpful, since OpenOffice (does not seem to be or) is not the Software Center (on Linux Mint) Thanks for the update that points to https://openoffice-org.staged.apache.org/download/platform_hints.html now I do no longer have to think about deb vs rpm. ________________________________ From: Marcus <marcus.m...@wtnet.de> Sent: Monday, 5 April 2021 12:52 AM To: dev@openoffice.apache.org <dev@openoffice.apache.org> Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Platform hint text for macOS I've changed the visualization of the platform hints: https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopenoffice-org.staged.apache.org%2Fdownload%2Findex.html&data=04%7C01%7C2018001901%40student.sit.ac.nz%7Cf855544745ed4cf9283b08d8f76896d8%7Cc46ab213d1794a719ff7b9d9fe3f3b48%7C0%7C0%7C637531375906771683%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=7vUcLlfNZkJqPRd2QG5VXN2w%2BXyiwDC0bpW7WvK8es4%3D&reserved=0 Please have a look and tell me if this is better than the previous "tooltip over the colored button" solution.
