You are correct. I misread ( or my brain farted ) and looked up the wrong one.

Libreoffice their latest blogpost is from the 20th of August 2025. There have been a few releases in the past few months as well.

Openoffice their latest ( Apache Openoffice 4.1.15 ) was released almost 2 years ago ( December 2023 ).

Libreoffice seems like a more recent, better supported tool over Openoffice which hasn't seen any updates since 2023 according to their own website.

I'm on my phone, so I didn't search extensively. But I think that also plays a role in why there's a much larger fanbase for libreoffice rather than Openoffice.

I've no recent experience with either so I can't comment on how well either works.

Edit: I looked up the wrong one. My statement remains correct w.r.t. Openoffice, but they mentioned Onlyoffice which is a different product.

Connections timing out have always been a firewall issue for me.

Client sends packet, firewall drops packet, client waits for a reply that'll never come. Client times out.

I would check firewall logs or temporarily disable it to see if it works without it.

so yeah check the firewall on the server, the client and in between ( if any ). That's what I would do.

I wish there were more banks offering virtual CCs.

If windows is free why are they still selling windows licenses. you might get* a free upgrade between 10/11. But windows is not free.

~~Wait. Doesn't that mean If you slot it in a lvl 9 slot you will animate~~

~~9 + ( 2 additional per level slot over 4 = 10 ) = 19 skeletons?~~

Edit: Never mind. It's 1 skeleton and 12 extra for being level 9. I assumed every level would also increase the number of skellies raised. My bad

And if you are in the "It doesn't work" camp, then you are screwed without serious skill.

This the same for windows. Or Mac. Or your plumbing. Missing something.dll errors and whatnot. Running things in win98 compatibility mode. What's your point?

If you are one of the lucky ones where it works without effort, be grateful and don't go around telling everyone who has problems that it's super easy. Because it's more luck than skill and your experience might not fit the experience that others have.

  • Op asks for experience.
  • I shared my experience
  • You're here criticizing me for sharing experience and that it might not work for him

What exactly is the angle here?

That I'm lucky it all works? Sure. There's no skill involved in pressing the install and play button.

Can I guarentee it works for him? No. Did I claim it would? No.

He asked for experience and I shared mine. I'm not adding a disclaimer to day it's all just luck. Because frankly in my opinion it isn't. There's been stellar work done by devs to get it this smooth. It might not be perfect. But it's far from just "luck".

Gentoo is IIRC one of the harder distros to use. Or at the very least one that requires a lot of Linux knowledge.

At least that's how I remember it.

Personally there's plenty of good distros to work from. Things like proton and wine are pretty well hidden.

I'm running on bazzite for a while now and have run into zero issues. ( Full AMD pc ). My previous rig had an Nvidia card and that one worked pretty flawless too. Only issue I've had is Edge of screen flickering in ff16. But only in ff16.

Bazzite came preinstalled with everything i needed. Wifi drivers, controller support, ...

It's what I'd recommend to friends if they'd want to give linux a go for gaming. I'd ~~benchmark~~ bookmark protondb for them as well to see if the game actually runs on Linux :)

My only issues with Linux gaming are mainly the custom launchers ( ubisoft, ea app, battle.net ). Heroic app works great for gog/epic.

Edit: wrong word

I'm trying to wrap my head around your comment to understand. What exactly do you mean by supply chain sploit risk?

The tool is using 3rd party libraries and those libraries could be used to introduce vulnerabilities in the app?

Linkedin has games?

Article also mentions this

Fedora 32-bit Libraries

You might have seen some news regarding Fedora wanting to drop 32-bit libraries in the distant future. This is no longer the case as the proposal has been rescinded without a vote.

That's good news I hadn't heard yet. I also noticed the bazaar suddenly appeared yesterday. Now I know why.

Step 1: Get chickens

Step 2: add oats ( oat flakes ) to the pan with grease

Step 3: stir until they've absorbed the fat

Step 4: treat the chickens

Step 5: ??????

Step 6: Profit!

Hello fellow Linux gamers!

I've recently switched to nobara for gaming. I've had no real issues so far and it's all running smoothly! Queue my Xbox controller.

A year or two ago I bought an Xbox wireless control ( 2020 version according to the order ). Now I wanted to use the controller, but it is not being detected. The light keeps blinking. On nobara itself it looks like it mounted the dongle as a USB Stick.

That would explain why the controller isn't connecting.

How would I best go at tackling this? Any tips? I've already ran the following command:

nobara-controller-config

This installed some drivers and required a reboot ( which I did ).

Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips!
