LibreOffice has Come of Age

LibreOffice has come of Age.

Mind you I have not used an office package for two solid years and had been addicted to Android cellphones typefaces and typically Grammerly.

I had been detecting for Linux distributions that supports AbiWord for simplicity and found Emmabuntus and Ubuntu 20.10 accommodate AbiWord and Debian does not.
Even Knoppix bit shy of Abi Word because of popularity of LibreOffice.

It is in version 7 and has remarkable good character.

I work with AbiWord and finer tuning is done in LibreOffice before publishing.

It is a viable for Window based operating system in addition to Linux.

It has chapter promotion or demotion and layout up and down schemes.

For Android users there is also WPS Office and Polaris Office equally good but they are falling behind due to rapid onward match of LibreOffice.

There is LibreOffice reader for Android cellphones.

Who needs Microsoft Office suite?

And why pay?

Is it due to glamour or stupidity?

Emmabantus Debian 4 Edition

I am currently installing Emmanantus Debian 11(named Deb4 due to Emma edition 4) kernel in a single partition in my Laptop.

It had shed bit of its Ubuntu installation pathway but installation Is smooth.

It is 64 bit version and detected the ESP partition automatically.

I have downloaded Knoppix 9.1 and it is in an external SSD.

But Ubuntu 21.4 was very painful in writing to a DVD and writing and reading it in live mode was very rough and noisy.

It is probably loaded with eye catching graphic but did not have 5% of the software Emmabantus has.

It is nothing but simple Gnome desktop.

Emmanuntus has 1GB of extra software compared to Ubuntu.

It is time we migrate from Ubuntu to Emma for productive work.

Emma has in addition Gcompris for Children and a school version of LibreOffice 7 which is very attractive.

Ubuntu has not come out of it's mystic ways.

After all it came from Africa for African children but Emma is serving the African continent which Ubuntu currently had abrogated.

Sorry for saying that but I have Ubuntu 20.10 in my Laptop with AbiWotd.

Emma has MultiSystem and AbiWord, two of my favourites.

I hope with 22 version Ubuntu will match up with Emmabuntus and remove it's bulky graphic intensive glare and gloat and bring out more productive suite.

I have never used Ubuntu and my using it's 20.10 is mainly  due to AbiWord.

I used all my tactics to.get AbiWord to Debian 10 BUT miserably failed.

LXDE, KDE and Plasma do not support AniWord.

Incidentally, LibreOffice can read AbiWord and in future it should convert it's word file to AniWord and pdf for quick transfer through the Internet.

If for some reason an amazingly new Linux Distribution come into vogue I do not have any space in my Laptop.

But I am happy a version of Debian 11 is already there.

I was looking for Debian 11 but could not find a torrent file.

Linus Torvalds would not release it to the torrent base unless he is 100% satisfied.

He is a master of Japanese 5S technology.

This is about Sri-Lanka Telecom, My Data and Knoppix 9.1

I pulled out the Ethernet (faulty by the way) wire and I was without fast Internet for three months.

Sri-Lankan Telecom is hopeless, to say the least, it disconnected my Knoppix download without informing me by Telephone twice at 3 GB point twice (direct).

I lost 6GB of paid data.

This is not Netflix or Porn data but solid Linux program data.

I lost all my data except data in one of my cellphones which had two small iso images of Puppy Linux which I cannot transfer to the Linux PC.

After the Coronavirus I decided not to go out for three months (not the 3 weeks of Government's arbitrary lock or block down).

Rather it was total shut down of my PC and Laptop (I only had one BSD CD which needed Internet connection for erasing Windows Hegemony).

Ultimately I found a TrueOS DVD I downloaded in 2018 and got the Laptop running Debian 10.

One I downloaded in March we'll before Coronavirus restrictions needed Internet connection.

I was fed up and one day I walked two Kilometers to the Bank where there is an Internet Till, but to my bad luck the server was not booted on that day.

Yesterday I went to Dialog and upgraded all my cards including the Dialog Broadband WiFi.

Today I downloaded Knoppox 9.1, Ubuntu 21.10 and currently Downloading Debian Emmabantus 4.

I have configured an external SSD disk  with three running Knoppix versions (with fabulous collection of utilities which even Debian cannot boast in one DVD).

And SSD is mobile or portable.

Windows will never be able to beat Knoppox for another century and I will be long gone by then.

Good Bye Windows and Good Morning to Knoppox and his team of developers in Germany.

Make sure you use torrent for download and click English version if you are not German

Now MultiSysyem DVD comes from France by pressing F2 you can get to English.

I use both English and French MultiSystem as a way of refreshing my poor French competence.

Linux is always multi language capable.

I think torrent download is finishing without Telecoms.

Thank YOU Dialog.

By the way I have given only two calls by the wired connection for the last 7 weeks.

That is a record and I do not pay TAXES by default.

10 GB (3 distributions) in 3 hours and I have never had such a throughput in all my life.

All of them are in a USB in about half an hour and who says Linux is not efficient in an external USB Disk.
