A complete install of the most popular grammar checker for LibreOffice
--- Language Tool --- requires (rounded down) 38 GB.
One of the Gallery extensions uses a GB of disk space.

Yes, I remember that. A friend was harassed for buying a 10 MB drive
since they thought he would never need that much internal storage. Those
dual floppy days, and the first 10 to 20 MB hard drives, were the good

879MB (result of the command "dnf erase libreoffice*" for a
French/English installation with local help in both languages
installed). Interestingly, LO 5.4.4.2 on my Windows 10 platform (64-

I was changing versions of LibreOffice and saw something that I am
wondering at.
I ran "sudo apt-get remove libreoffice?" and at one point the process
asked to continue showing that 896 MB will be freed.
This was the 64 bit DEB version of 5.3.6.
Since I was not "purging" LO, I thought that
