    Aah yes, libreoffice. With their confusing 2 or 3 stable releases in their download page, pushing people to use their newest version. I hope they do this not because they expect people to run into bugs with their newest "stable" release, so when people complain, they can say "we told you so, if you want support, you should've gone with our business partners"

      Who uses "their download page" among the readers of this site? Nobody.

      And if you are so overstressed by using a "download page", maybe you should leave software installation to other people.

        The newest version usually works best for most purposes. You're probably also confused by the Linux kernel being offered in (currently) 10 versions (thereof 2 experimental and 2 EOL).

          While talented people spend their free time on a software he is using, all he does is whining about "confusion". I really don't like that attitude.

            So, there's a bug that lost me a deadline. That's a thing that happened. Maybe I would do something else with my free time if it didn't happen. You know, stability is a thing

              Maybe you should let ChatGPT rewrite it all into smaller words you'd understand. You'd be less confused. Maybe.

                Something tells me you were going to miss that deadline regardless of the bug.
                Save often and if you then encounter a bug, you can just swap to another platform if necessary.

                  You surely have a backup. No one forced you to do a major upgrade of the software in the middle of a project.
                  And again, no Linux user should visit a "download page".

                    No, I know what I'm doing. The thing freezed and got confused and replaced my file with old save. It's not like you can anticipate when it would freez and burn.

                    And also, with libreoffice, one crashes, everything else also crashes. If only one doc lost, i wouldn't whine like I do.

                    ​​​​​​​The bug itself is dumb anyway, like i don't even bother to explain.

                    ​​​​​​​I want to love the thing. But these things. Also shilling to companies? Shoving to your face word "community"? "Business" banner? Huh, blender has richer sugar daddy and yeah.
