One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new #Linux system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting #KDE for a longer term.

(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)

After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/288 ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.

The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.

So, my money went to a fork.

I've been using #LibreOffice for many years. Only when I'm forced I use another office suite, and that did not happen in the last 2.5 years.

I highly recommend LibreOffice!
