  It also had lots of fun facts to boot, including statistics about broccoli.

  I’m pretty sure that Mulan was a great heroine. Also I think you were using the wrong language.

  I kind of did and it took a distro or two… But arch (EndeavourOS) is keeping me on track with all tasks I need to perform at work (one program is wine based, and office is dealt with just fine with libre - I’m a high school teacher by the way) and well … I used the command line to use ghostscript and OCR some documents. This was all right inside Linux by the way, no downloading extra packages. It worked goddamn fine.

  I was really worried I’d need to use Foxit Phantom Pdf just to edit a pdf a couple of weeks ago, but libre office draw was very little hassle, with the exception of a bit of shifting of text.

  I used OnlyOffice thinking ‘Hey, this is a really similar alternative to MSO!’ Then bugs with slide previews and their ordering happened in the middle of presentations and even worse, memory leaks ground my laptop to a halt.

  Libre office still hasn’t crashed and the slide previews are accurate. The interface has always been a bit…unrefined even with the new tabbed layout but I can live with that.

  PowerPoints suffer from lack of smart objects, and in the case of using Linux, font conversion. But it’s just that we’ve got to persevere with it. 😅

  Oh! Now I understand what that other commenter was talking about by ‘matching of letters to the numbers’ or something along those lines.

  We getcha but that’s romaji which is a transliteration of the syllable sounds.
