Few Words about LibreOffice, Why I Do Not use it?

I Do Not use Microsoft Words for over 25 years.

Five Words about LibreOffice, Why I Do Not use it?

As far as I know Only Ubuntu removes not used languages at the end of the Installation. If YOU using Ubuntu do not skip this part of the Installation. 

I am not an Ubuntu user by default.

I have got My NUC System Updated with two KDE Instances one from Debian fold and other Netrunner (I have special affinity for Netrunner from Day of 32 bit Neptune). Netrunner has Synaptic package Manager and it list out application in an alphabetical order and its interface somewhat clumsy but looks like a Cellphone face.

All this is to say I use Abiword for my Books and nothing to beat it.

I can save (save as) a file of AbiWord in Debian KDE folder and not on Nerrunner home folder. I have to copy it to a USB and then copy it from there. 

This is for me wasting time

I need it to direct copy

I use the same password and there is no snooping on other users folders (I can do that as an Administrator but very rarely).

All these are "30 year Techniques" which makes me never go for "back up" or save files, except in Google Drive. Yesterday, I browsed Google Drive and copied an articles published in New York Times in this blog spot, named "forgiving" published in 2013.

After the Ukraine War, I do not subscribe to BBC, or any of American Newspapers. 

They are all "Faked News".

Coming back to Word Processing, I get so annoyed with all Word Processing Software except Lyx, Latex and Text Editors, I now Use Abiword in Puppy Linux for my text editing work on a USB Stick.

My estimate yesterday was LibreOffice uses about 2GB DATA (scanning after removing all the additions for over 200 languages -there are 2000 functional languages currently out of 2500 almost equivalent to types of mosquitoes-). 

I do not use LibreOffice but I add D.B.S. to its folder (if I need for any DATABASE Work) after removing language packs. Just for sanity I click Sinhala Package for install.

I do not use Marati, Gugarati, Panjabi, Polish , Katalonian and Greenland

 It took half an hour yesterday and another half an hour this morning (in my second instance of Debian Gnome) to take the language junk from my system.

I do not think even U.N.O. bothers about language now.
