Cool! I’m going to have to try this. Not really happy with LibreOffice

Hmmm ...
I’ve been quite happy with OpenOffice.org; this looks interesting and worth a try.
Interesting that this comes from Germany; the original Star Office (from which OO.org and Libre Office are descended) also came from Germany.

I use LibreOffice on my work laptop (RHEL6) and have not had a problem. Where I really could use a replacement product is Visio as I do a lot of network and data center diagrams.

This thread, like most Linux things, doesn’t work so well. No pics showing.

Can someone tell me what Win10 files I need to delete so I can let update run?
Thanks

That said, I was hoping to use it to sketch database ER diagrams, but was disappointed that it didn't have a stencil for that, at least not out of the box.
To: RansomOttawa
Looks interesting but 1) they apparently do not consider Debian to be a “popular operating system” or platform, and 2) the packages are only updated to 2013 so some of the dependencies might be outdated.

Hopefully it doesn’t depend on JAVA

I’ve recently started working on a friends laptop with windows 10 and couldn’t find update at all! Does it give you the option NOT to auto update?

and 2) the packages are only updated to 2013 so some of the dependencies might be outdated.Yes, my apologies: I have it up and running on my Ubuntu system, and I didn't realize that it looks like development may have stopped on it, which in the Linux world will limit its usefulness.
To: AppyPappy
No sir, I turned off auto update because I don’t want Win10. I would like to run the updates though.

So you have a lower version of Windows and you don’t want Windows 10. That would have been good info to know.
However, Windows 10 IS the update.
