'No Problem' Word Processor Poses a Problem for Former President Carter (1981)
I've found looking at commit counts is never very good for judging project activity, at least if they don't squash-merge all pulls. For example there can be pages of one liners
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commits/trunk/?after=c8...
One pull as opposed to zero indeed may break the inactive barrier but probably good not to read too much into commit counts graphs.

The biggest blocker to LibreOffice adoption? LibreOffice
Better isn't just one dimension but I've repeatedly heard that OO is a damn dumpster fire for loading untrusted content: https://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html vs https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/
Them both being written in a memory unsafe language[1][2] isn't helping matters
Also, while digging up those links I noticed the last release of OO was in Dec 2023 which is a lot of time for all the components they bundle to acquire vulns. But at least they're consistent about it since the release before that was in Feb 2023

From License to Freedom: Embracing Open Source Forks Knowing What to Expect
Another prominent example is LibreOffice, which was forked from OpenOffice after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Fearing that the stewardship of OpenOffice might suffer under Oracle, the community forked the project to create LibreOffice, which has since become the more popular and actively developed office suite.

It's time to let go, Apache Software Foundation

From that link:

I'm guessing is not "learning" but more of an attempt to game GitHub (e.g. rack up a lot of commits to an impressive-sounding project).

I am setting up my daughter's first PC. Please help
OpenOffice is a bit outdated and it's updates don't really update anything if you check the git commits. There is however FreeOffice and OpenOffice, both really good options that look almost the same as MS Office

Microsoft deletes official Windows 11 CPU/TPM bypass for unsupported PCs
recent concerns from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/onlyoffice
>> Since Qt5 is now already outdated,
> Yes, every dependency onlyoffice uses is outdated. They even use v8 8.9 that doesn't include any security patches. They also uses outdated CEF binary downloaded from an http url and doesn't check its integrity at all. Even worse, that CEF binary might be closed source as suggested by dbermond in https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/1664
> I would advise anyone who uses onlyoffice to avoid opening any untrusted documents with it. It appears that onlyoffice upstream doesn't care about security at all. See https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/1664 for more details

Changing the defaults margins
I want to change the default margins so that they are 1 inch on each side. Per this link: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/759 I followed the instructions to edit the defaults by modifying the file. The problem is, the file is read only, and I am unable to save a file to the location with a different name.
What are some alternatives?
