From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

LibreOffice is the GOAT of office softwares
I’ve had many bugs with it (like dark theme that seems completely broken)
Me too, so I just switch to light mode and deal with my eyes burning
And I have to change my OS settings because modifying the theme in libreoffice's settings doesn’t work (Linux) 😵
Without a doubt. Very good MS Office compatibility now, alongside a user interface that gets me to what I need and is heavily customisable, and very well done integration with Zotero (the best thing ever for citations) through an extension comes together to being by far my most preferred office suite even when I have to use Windows. In addition, Draw has saved me at least a few times when I've had to deal with some PDFs that other software finds difficult to work with.
Have you ever tried dark mode in libreoffice? Else you would know the truth
Works fine for me in KDE when icons are also set to Breeze Dark. Page goes dark, icons go light, toolbar goes dark.
For sure, definitely one of the best and one of the most remarkable FOSS out there
Use dark mode bruh and truth will reveal itself
How many time do you need to repeat it over the post?
