Or Linux, being an American product.

Linux is an international effort?

It's not a "product" so there is that at least

Waiting for Adobe to rename Photoslop.

LibreOffice can't properly render ODT files created with OpenOffice-before-Oracle. I highly doubt their DOCX support is any better.

Doubt what you like, but I "rescued" old MS Office documents for my grandfather with that. Also this is a common fear when leaving MS Office, so you can bet they work on that. I never had someone complain over OO-compatibitlity until now, so there is that.

When LibreOffice appeared on the stage, that was actually my first test back then: opening an existing ODT document I had written. It was already displayed incorrectly at the time.

Are there test files downloadable somewhere, so I can check that myself?

"I don't like X, so I'm guessing Y is bad."

Especially not "Microsoft".

It is calming to see that in the end, WordPerfect Office outlived Microsoft Office.

I agree.

CDE being heavier is probably mostly caused by its large functionality. After all, NsCDE is mostly an FVWM colour scheme, while CDE comes with all the bells and whistles.

Still my favourite Unix desktop. Thank you for the notice!

I upgraded my OpenBSD machines a few hours ago, and I'm still not entirely sure whether I notice any obvious TCP speed improvement. Then again, they're not really high-load computers. Maybe people with a higher throughput will be amazed.

FreeBSD is not really curious about being as portable as possible, I think. And it is somewhat larger, indeed, so it's not quite as easy to support more platforms.

Yeah isn’t netbsd the BSD focused on portability and platform support?

Yes, and OpenBSD being a fork of NetBSD still carries some of that spirit.

And both of those have very minimal ports compared to Linux. Notably in modern arm/riscv. Netbsd has really fallen behind.

Still better than the none of freebsd.

I mean, are we surprised? Linux has on the order of millions times more users and funds (probably not developers though, but who knows). Thus, if there is any financial viability of a port I am certainly expecting Linux to "move" first. Rather, I am impressed that OpenBSD and NetBSD are keeping up as well as they do.

NetBSD and OpenBSD support “old” hardware notably longer than Linux does though. OpenBSD having dropped the VAX is not that long ago.

Yeah I suppose.

But OpenBSD forked from NetBSD like, what, 30 years ago?

There is not even one common "the Linux kernel".
