(Quote) It's not so complicated. :) There's educational value in trying to convey some of the complexities of history. :) You're right that a fork of a fork is still a fork, but a fork of a fork of X isn't necessarily a fork of…

(Quote) It all looks very questionable to me, but at least they offer StarOffice 6 and 7 for free (even though they very probably don't have the right to do so). I would have thought that Oracle acquired StarOffice with the purchase of Sun. A…

(Quote) First of all, this thread is a dramatic overreaction by the OP. Second, the low-end provider in question very probably just had an unfortunate incident, so there's no need to name and shame the provider as though the provider systemati…

(Quote) If you don't mind, a few comments on your blog post: :) (Quote) Strictly speaking, the open source version of StarOffice produced by Sun was called "OpenOffice.org". People often called it "OpenOffice", but its offi…

(Quote) In principle, I can kind of see why a portable LibreOffice -- a portable LibreOffice that runs in a browser -- might be attractive to some people in some circumstances. Nevertheless, given the sheer size and complexity of LibreOffice, I don…

(Quote) Go GIMP -- don't settle for anything less :)

(Quote) My question ("No chance ...?") was partly rhetorical, though I imagined that GIMP would require the Linux subsystem to be activated. :) I also suspect that when @Not_Oles said "simple", he wasn't thinking of GIMP. (…

(Quote) No chance of installing GIMP on a Chromebook? :)

(Quote) I think that other things being equal, I simply prefer a community distribution -- or let's say one with fewer commercial interests in the background. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see how quickly they were able to get Rocky ou…

I haven't yet needed to do an installation, but my present preference for a CentOS replacement would be Rocky Linux.

(Quote) But I imagine that from the perspective of WordPress (and from the perspective of most WordPress users), this is progress. :) (Quote) My impression is that also in the past, WordPress development hasn't made backwards compatibility a f…

(Quote) On my reading, it's unclear whether it will be free as in free beer. Or free to install but updates cost money? Even if it's free, it won't be in the same narrow comparison class as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux because it'l…
