Yes I have, but it was some years ago. > It's pretty conservative, and it > doesn't have systemd, thank heavens! It also has a really helpful Forum. > Now pay me, Tex! (Just kidding--the endorsement is completely free!) Well, I'm not necessarily looking for conservative, I just want it to be easy to do simple tasks. When I first installed the operating system I have now, I was quite impressed. It was like ”wow, it works like I think an operating system should work”. I can actually do things with this. The next version was even better and for every new version there were some nice improvements, but since 2011 it has been the other way around. Now, almost most of the things that I liked from the beginning are gone. Things that was simple to perform is still possible to do, but it's very much more complicated. Some things I didn't even figure out yet. I saw some tutorials and I tried them, but they simply didn't work… But all this is somewhat OFF TOPIC, maybe there are better places to discus it… Johnny Rosenberg > > > --doug > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
