In some cases they can be<br>over-come quite easily by switching from the default "Fresh" to the<br>more mature "Still" branch - or vice-versa. In Linux-land we often<br>have choices such as using the tweaked versions in our distro's repos<br>(through a package manager) or download from the official LibreOffice<br>website and install, or even get the source-code and "make" or "build"<br>if you are a purist and using Gentoo or Arch or Slackware or<br>something. So for most of us point&click users we have 2 or 3 easy<br>options.<br><br>I suspect that the major problem is that the default version of<br>LibreOffice is always the latest "Fresh", unlike other OpenSource<br>projects that give the most solidly matured branch to noobs and then<br>leave it to geeks to find their way around to getting the "more<br>advanced" one.<br><br>Anyway, i too have been very happily using LibreOffice for over 5<br>years and everyone i meet who has used it (apart from one) has also<br>been very happy with it - or become happy once i help them switch to<br>the "Still" branch.<br><br>Regards from<br>Tom :)<br><br><br><br>On 19 November 2015 at 15:39, Cley Faye <[email protected]> wrote:<br>> I usually don't reply to these kind of posts (I keep my rare contributions<br>> in trying to help others...) but there's something to say here.<br>><br>> You forgot to say exactly what's wrong.
