They still don't unlock iPhones for the government. But please, by all means, enjoy your next U.S. ecosystem.

I wish it would support more VCSs.

Or Linux, being an American product.


Linux is an international effort?


Trademarked in USA, maintained by US citizens, mostly distributed by US companies who add US software like GNU and systemd.

Waiting for Adobe to rename Photoslop.


LibreOffice can't properly render ODT files created with OpenOffice-before-Oracle. I highly doubt their DOCX support is any better.


Doubt what you like, but I "rescued" old MS Office documents for my grandfather with that. Also this is a common fear when leaving MS Office, so you can bet they work on that. I never had someone complain over OO-compatibitlity until now, so there is that.


When LibreOffice appeared on the stage, that was actually my first test back then: opening an existing ODT document I had written. It was already displayed incorrectly at the time.


Are there test files downloadable somewhere, so I can check that myself?

CDE being heavier is probably mostly caused by its large functionality. After all, NsCDE is mostly an FVWM colour scheme, while CDE comes with all the bells and whistles.


Still my favourite Unix desktop. Thank you for the notice!


I upgraded my OpenBSD machines a few hours ago, and I'm still not entirely sure whether I notice any obvious TCP speed improvement. Then again, they're not really high-load computers. Maybe people with a higher throughput will be amazed.
