One of the most annoying things is THE BLOAT! ***, even the minimal version is so bloated, that when you open menu you are going to get stroke.
Yes. Too many programs. I have read that too much free software will sometimes cause a stroke in some individuals.
Particularly those who work for Microsoft. But has been reported to happen to others.After few weeks of usage I am still having problems finding what I need in the menu.
Better to lay off taking the initiative to customize your own computer.
Remember: your life just might be at stake. Don’t push yourself too hard. We wouldn’t want you to stroke out.Forgive me for the sarcasm, guys. I gotta laugh.
Also, I’ve never heard of software bloat being used in that context.

confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019
calciumsodium
Another advantage of antiX full is that it comes preloaded with LibreOffice. How cool is that? For many Windows users, they have to buy Office or get Office365 through work. At my work, they are transitioning to Google Docs/Workspace instead of Microsoft Outlook/Office.
Another advantage is that I have been able to run windows programs using Wine. To me, if I didn’t have the wine program, I would just stick with Windows.
One thing though. I have not been able to run windows programs that require the .net framework. In my experience, Wine would not run those windows program. Is there a way to do this?
ThanksIn reply to: Future antiX

Again a recommendation for a nice helper tool for possibly including in future antiX:
It’s a translator written in python for the terminal commandline, using official apis from wellknown online translators. You can chose which you’d like to use best. For the moment there are present:
— mymemory.translated.net
— translate.microsoft
— deepl.comExample output:
demo@antix1:
$ translate-cli -f en -t zh “This is a pen.”Translation: 这是一支笔
————————-
Translated by: MyMemoryThere is a commandline option to get back the translated string only, so its output is highly scriptable.
Documentation: Manual
Please note, this recommendation is only checked from the point of view of usefulness and handling, not whether there are technical obstacles in integration to antiX, but I didn’t observe any difficulties while installing on antiX 19.3 recently apt-upgraded.

In reply to: Suspend shuts down computer?
rayluo
The issue now is when I go to logout > suspend, it doesn’t suspend but instead shuts the computer down apparently. When I come back later, it’s totally off.
Hi @MCreaves, I happen to encounter an issue which initially looks similar. When I suspend my “new” Thinkpad computer, it would apparently shutdown, and then even automatically reboot.
Interestingly, later I realized that symptom was not exactly “suspend shuts down (and reboot) computer”. With a hint from somewhere else, I turned off the “Automatically turn on via LAN” feature from BIOS. Then, suspending my computer would not cause auto reboot. It seems the suspend is indeed working, because this computer happens to have a breathing light effect in its power button.
But then, the real problem in my case is that I can not successfully wake up the computer. Once wake up, the computer goes into reboot.
I don’t really know much about suspend on Linux since it has pretty much always just worked.
Same here, the suspend behavior works fine on my another two older Thinkpads.
After a lot of research, it seems that the issue might be related to an outdated BIOS
How would you know it is caused by BIOS? I also want to learn how to troubleshoot this.
In my case, Lenovo did a good job on continuing releasing newer BIOS version several times a year. But I want to make sure I have to go that route. I never did any BIOS upgrade before.
PS: My computer.

Hi folks
During this lock down period, I’ve been informing myself on how android devices “spy” on us. I’ve always know about that, and, to some people, that may not be scary. However I did not like to learn stuff like this:
-A recent research pointed out that, on average android/IOS devices send your private data (like phone number, IMEI, location, and possibly contacts, browsing history, etc, etc) over the net (to Google/Apple servers) and that android devices send 20 times the data IOs devices send… (I think I listened to this on Wired UK podcast title something like “your phone sends your data every 4.5 minutes”)
-I’m going through a very bad economic situation, so I do not have a spare android device to try to install and alternative degoogled ROM, so I tried to degoogle my android 10 device as much as possible without rooting/installing a new OS.
the end result is not perfect, but not that bad…
At least my Samsung android 10 device allows, using the Options drop down menu, to disable “Google play” store and “Google services”.Before doing such extreme measure I recommend doing this:
Go trough the Options menu on your android device you can disable stuff like personalized adds, period Bluetooth devices, clear and disable your google history, etc.- that does allow you a small increase on privacy, but not by much, and that because something I learned on the Youtube channel “Rox Braxman Tech”- do you know the “GPS” icon on your android device? That does not turn off your GPS- it simply disables it’s use from third party apps, but not Google Services- you GPS is on 24/7, and, as soon as you connect your device to the internet, that data is sent to Google’s servers.
Also this- if you connect to a WI-fi network and your device has GPS service, the precise location of that network is sent to Google (including the rooter’s ID)…
Even if you don’t allow third party apps access to your location, that can be estimated from your last know position, using the phone’s sensors (Braxman has a short video showing how to activate a secret android icon on the options that allows to switch off all sensors- including camera and mic (but not GPS)- you can only use your mic for phone calls if you disable sensors. It’s a instant on/off switch, very handy.Turning off Google Playstore does not improve your privacy by much- and you do have to turn it back on to check for application updates (for apps installed from the Play Store)
Turning off Google Services does seem to improve your privacy by a lot, but alsos puts you, if you are a google service’s user, in a world of pain- Google Chrome, Maps, Youtube and Gmail app’s complain about not working without “Google services”- hell, even “contacts” complains about that, although it still works ok, but producing an anoying notification. Netflix complains the same way, but still works…I have a few suggestions to using a “semi-ungoogled device” – before turning off the Play store, install several alternative apps to use instead the default apps:
Also, change your device from the options menu so you can side-load apps. Navigate to F-droid’s page and install it’s apk- it’s an android apps store that offers only open source aplications.
From Playstore or f-droid install:
“Simple Contacts Pro” – to use instead of Google’s Contacts- it’s similar and allows you to import export your contact’s list to a file and save it/upload it to whereever you want.
“Simple Calendar” instead of Calendar – if, for some reason, your calendar does not work without google services. You also have, on f-droid “Etar – OpenSource Calendar” that’s also very good, with material design.
“Firefox” – to use instead of “Google chrome”- if you want an extra layer of privacy install this extras: “Ublock Origin”, “Privacy Badger” and “Decentral eyes”
Also search the web for Bromite Browser – it’s a fully open source “degoogled” Chrome for android
“NewPipe” – a Youtube video player/downloader (or create a link to Youtube’s webpage on your home screen, using Firefox/Bromite)
“Gmail”- create a link to gmail’s webpage on your home screen, using Firefox/Bromite. If you want to access gmail off line, install K-9 mail, from F-droid
“Maps”- install a free and preferebly off line gps map software- in Portugal we do have MeoDrive, that’s add supported, with unusntrosive addsSome apps, like homebaking may not work without Google Services being active (to use them activate those services and then deactivate them again, after using your Bank)- ideally, do not use mobile devices to do your banking, use a secure computer.
Whatsapp, Messenger, Netflix, Spotify and Kindle still work ok, without google services (but I know Netflix complains about it). Although I use Messenger for video calls, I have not tested Facebook’s app- you should not use it anyway, if you are really into social networks, use a secure browser to access them- the Facebook app has access, that is sent to FB’s servers to too much information about you, even when you are not using that app.If you disable Google Services, close contacts, Chrome, Maps, youtube and gmail, from your applications configuration menu, unless you want to bee bombarded by notifications to turn on Google Services.
I’ve not tested Games that require Google Play, because I don’t have any, but they should require Google services…Add to the bottom of your main screen “Simple Contacts Pro” (instead of Contacts) and your selected browser instead of “Chrome”. If you want to have your opensource applications updated, install them from F-droid (search on-line on how to add Firefox’s/ Bromite’s, Newpipe’s repository to F-droid, and you’r set.
I recently made a list off free apps for android, but, here are some opensource/free (add supported) nice apps to use on your android device:
*OpenBoard- opensouce version of Google’s keyboard (get it on f-droid)
*Joplin- opensource note/todo (get it on f-droid)
*Xodo- PDF viewer/editor/creator (not open source, but free)
*AntenaPod (opensource podcasts manager) (get it on f-droid)
*FeedR (open source off-line news reader) (get it on f-droid)
*VLC media player (opensource multimedia player, works off-line or on-line) (get it on f-droid)
*Koreader (opensource, e-book/pdf/odt reader – not pretty, but effective- get it on f-droid)
*Collabora Office (android’s LibreOffice port- not opensource, does not seem to be open source- but very good to read office documents (including MS office) and do small editions to those dcouments – available in PLaystore or Collabora’s website directly
*Microsoft Lens- scan documents in pdf format- not open source, but can be used Off-line, without privacy problems)- available in Google PLaystoreCasual games for almost all tastes, for your commute, or WC time 🙂
*Patience Revisited (Klondike solitaire, etc)- available in Google PLaystore
*Domination (opensource version of Risk boardgame)
*Strategy (free version of Stratego boardgame)- available in Google PLaystore
*CrossWords (via F-droid)- opensource, multilingual version of Scrable boardgame)
*ChessFree (not open-source, but free Chess game, add supported- non intrusive adds, for 1 or 2 players, works off-line)- available in Google PLaystore
*Dalmax checkers(not open-source, but free Checkers game, add supported- non intrusive adds, for 1 or 2 players, works off-line)- available in Google PLaystore
*Puzzles (opensource puzzle games, via F-droid)- includes Sudoku (Solo), Minesweeper (Mines), Brigdes (Brigdes), Same Game (Same Game), Mastermind (Guess) and much more
*Mahjong Builder- it’a a Mahjong solitaire, opensource, via F-droid.
*Blockinger – very nice opensource Tetris clone, via F-droid.
*Freedoom – opensource Doom FPS android port (untested my be)For using all other apps, activate google services and play store, check for updates, install whatever app you need and disable those services again… But think, before installing crap on your device- do you really need those apps installed? Are they good for you?
Enjoy, P.

In reply to: NomadBSD
PDP-8
I’m going to fire up NomadBSD later today – if nothing else to pay homage to the pioneers and as a reminder not to take our software freedom for granted – be it gpl or bsd style.
I also tend to forget that aside from legal / freedom issues, the groundbreaking work Jolitz did was to actually get a port to the 386 working at all! Which compared to the previous generation of minis and workstations, that meant more or less “toy” or commodity PC hardware, where internal documentation and the circus of off-the-shelf hardware meant that unless you were Microsoft, you weren’t going to get any help. Or be privy to secret bios calls, or secret calls in assembler.
Which for various reasons morphed from 386BSD into Net and Free BSD – still facing the same challenge, unlike the others who spent their time on fully supported mini hardware.
I guess we are /still/ living with that spectre of commodity pc hardware secrecy and hoarding today in one form or another.
Yep – gonna’ fire up NomadBSD and spend some time with it. It fits exactly into FreeBSD’s original charter, which was to make installation and operation on commodity pc hardware easier to get up and running for the average Joe/Jill to explore and learn from.

Right;. The IBM PC came out after several other companies had personal computer systems, including Apple, Franklin and others
Heathkit made it few microcomputer systems but didn’t establish a commercial customer base.
Intel had excess capacity after failure to gain a contract. Microsoft bought QDOS in hope to sell system software with their BASIC programming language.
IBM was late to the game but realized that they needed something. Intel. Microsoft and IBM validated an existing hardware and software configuration by their entrance into this business sector.IBM later created their own OS and their own system but the already existing environment was less expensive with more applications at a lower cost.
Interestingly had they lowered the cost and come up with a comaptible software ABI it MAY have worked.
MULTICS was a bust because it was too expensive and powerful for affordable hardware. Ironic because Linux has added most capabilities once only able to run on expensive hardware. Chips and memory are cheap, allowing powerful hardware and affordable systems.

Linux User #305687 (Antix runit, Crowz, Michaels-Duvuan, Absolute, Sparky, Endeavouros)
Pawtucket RI EE.UU.In reply to: How to get SpaceFM in French?
Keep calm, @Wallon. Not everything needs be solved by the developers. We are a strong community and can achieve some things on ourselves, covering the developers backs. For sure we’ll need their help in the end, but let us discuss possible solutions before demanding readymades. That’s the spirit of linux, even if some big players (like Canonical, Mozilla, Microsoft) dont’t care.
The file “spacefm.mo” is in the folder ~/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES and it works very well.
As I pointed out some posts above, exactly this mechanism works in antiX also. For a User Interface language e.g. “de_AT” or “de_CH” all the translation files present in the non country specific language folder “de” are in use. If this is not true for fr_BE there must be a bug in antiX (which I stated already in this matter.) There are obviously language files which are present on system, but NOT used by antiX. We identified this problem quite recently, and so you can’t expect to see a soulution already, since there are extremely many possible points of failure involved.
qpdfview refused to print in black and white with my HP Officetjet Pro 8600 Plus printer and it wasn’t in French.
Well, printing in linux is a very special thing… my CAPSL-IV Laser Printer wouldn’t even print in full resolution when on any linux, so small font sizes are unreadable, text on greyscale background also. These are the drawbacks when Manufacturers want to keep their trade secrets. I can’t tell anything about qpdf by now, since I am on antiX 17.4.1 sill, and evince is standard document viewer in this former antiX version. You may ask developers what was the reason for their decision to replace it.
Please find my locale detail.
I don’t see anything wrong in it. Looks just exactly as my de_DE locales. And here all the translation files (.mo) are in “de” folder only, de_DE is nearly empty. But when puting a translation file (marked by some replaced translation strings) for testing in de_DE folder for a specific program, it is used immediately, overruling the correspondent file in “de” folder. I’ve tested it with “de_AT” and “de_CH” also. Hence, exactly like this it should work for you in fr_BE also. If not, there must be a bug somewhere.
Please wait for the new aCMSTS version I’m just working on, it’s an antiX community project only, but it may help you in finding the reason for the behaviour of your language system. It will provide a way of checking and analysing the presence of language files and entries. While testing it we found a couple of malfunctioning .mo files already, which were present on system but not in use nontheless even if they should.@skidoo: I’ll investigate on the method you you’ve posted above, it looks very interresting to me:
echo “en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8” | sudo tee /etc/locale.gen
LANG=C sudo dpkg-reconfigure –frontend=noninteractive locales
LANG=C sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8Thank you for this guidance. Even when you’ve posted it before already somewhere here in forum, I wasn’t aware of it.
With this in mind, it does not matter to skidoo whether 16, or 61, or all locales will be pre-installed.
A really good argument.

4- Research nano-robotics – as far as I know, nothing has been produced that can be injected without the use of a very large needle

You need a power supply (connection to an electric grid, or battery- how the hell do this “nanobots” get their power inside your body? Body heat? Using some insane tech to transform the lipids in your blood stream into electric power?). You need something that processes the signal to be sent/received over the network- sure, that part is not implausible, robots, and nano bots can do that) but how to send/receive the signal? No antenna, right? Using your body? Sorry, you are mostly water, not a very good medium so send radio signals.I have not developed a working human remote control, so just a dump of links intended to show the achievability:

The insect’s motion is controlled from a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS), and it can be used to survey an environment or, say, detect explosives and poisonous gases. Similar high-value and path-breaking work using cutting-edge implantable technology is being done on humans, too.”
“A single chip radio system with onboard antenna and sensors of size 100µm×100µm×1µm is what is feasible with current technology. Consequently, wireless communication becomes possible with human implants for receiving information about chemical or physical quantity in biological systems, or for providing remote activation/deactivation of biochemical activity inside a single living cell.
Using nanotechnology, fabrication of an FM radio using a single nano-tube of 1µm length and 10nm width is possible. The nano-tube radio is inserted inside the living human cell to give a sub-cellular remote and real-time controlled interface.
Miniaturisation of the radio chip could also be used in the fabrication of smart dusts, that is, tiny objects with sensing and communication abilities that may be massively distributed over an area for remote tracking of human presence. Another application could be based on the fabrication of tiny physiological sensors implanted in humans, communicating with a single central unit in wireless body area networks (WBANs).”
“Technological feasibility of tiny devices implanted inside a living cell for the remote control of a wide range of biological functions or detection of presence of an antibody has been successfully demonstrated by scientists. They have done so by implanting a nano-robot in embedded smart sensors in the human body for tele-operated surgical procedures or early disease diagnosis.”

And even so, smartphone batteries keep dyeing on their users, wifi keeps coming down, gps fails sometimes, etc… How exactly would that be different on a nano scale, with less room for storing power and a nano antenas?Diversification and multiple chips — one fails, others work?
7- “put an ID on you” – sorry mate, unless you do not own a smartphone, or use an ungoogled phone, you are already tagged…
Prior to smartphones, citizens had long been tagged with passports, прописки, tax IDs, medical record, birth certificate, military identity card, driving licence, other identity documents.Even prior to secular documents, population had been being tagged in parish registers.
Why not upgrade the tagging method further? A smartphone is less “private”, “convenient” and reliable than an in-body chip.I recommend first, doing some light reading on how the scientific method works- try reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan. If you prefer listening to stuff, The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe podcast (now also a book) will give you some knowledge on how the scientific process works, and how false claims also work, how personal bias can distort our reality, etc, etc…
Sorry mate, but with Carl Sagan’s support of such blatantly unscientific ideas as global warming and evolution, I say that Carl Sagan either was not as enlightened as he has been being presented, or he was a hypocrite and an agent to push mainstream pseudo-science.
Wait, קרל סייגן? No surprise.the tumbnail of the video on the BBC – she looks hot, I guess I’ll be watching her video after all… 🙂
here is another nice lady speaking:
“Dr. Simone Gold on Risks of the Experimental MRNA COVID Vaccine”
( https://www.bitchute.com/video/PRnORlZytIJn/ )Meanwhile across the ocean and to the south …
Anyone interested in reading will need to translate into their respective language.
I wonder how to put these two in line:
“CoronaVac is produced with inactivated viruses of the new coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2)”
https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://www.saopaulo.sp.gov.br/coronavirus/vacina/“no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available”
( https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/10/08/the-smoking-gun-where-is-the-coronavirus-the-cdc-says-it-isnt-available/ )Sars-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
2019-nCoV = 2019 novel coronavirus
Sars-CoV-2 = 2019-nCoV
I personally prefer to err on the safe side.

@rayluo, I thank you for your considerations and suggestions. I need to test Bitbucket.
GitHub, that service, I didn’t know until last week when mr. Alessandro from PCLinuxOS BR had commented that since 2018 he has been with Microsoft Corporation. This is something to pay close attention to … The Linux communities feeding this company’s servers with open source, so it’s too easy …
However, the intrinsic learning curve of the git, is definitely much more complicated than a “file-sharing” website. That is probably why @marceloripe “found it very difficult to use this service”.
On 14-11-2020 I saw how difficult it is to manage the files on Gitlab, it was even difficult to make the pt-BR translations available for Xecure of your antix-wifi-switch program. After being lost for a long time, for not being able to create a folder, I created a project and sent locale_pt_BR_LC_MESSAGES_antix-wifi-switch_14-11-2020.po and the antix-wifi-switch.desktop.
@skidoo, I thank you for your tutorial, it was of great help, I managed to create it easier https://gitlab.com/collaborations-marcelocripe/antix-wifi-switch, now all we need to do is learn to move the content from /antix to /antix-wifi-switch. An action that should be simple seems not to be visible. With great difficulty I managed to create this https://gitlab.com/collaborations-marcelocripe/antix, today I managed to edit the name of the project to https://gitlab.com/collaborations-marcelocripe/antix-wifi-switch.
sounds like you don’t realize how much git functionality is available “right from within a web browser”.
Gitlab may have great potential, but without knowing how to use its potential it is the same as having nothing.
Does each project amount to a folder?
My goal is to organize the compressed files in their respective folders. Make the folder URL available and the interested person can find the compressed file and a text file explaining what to do with the compressed file.
I think of people who may want to use the compressed files that I am preparing, certainly Gitlab is not the best service for a person to be able to copy the URL paste in the internet browser and click on the “Download” button.
The internet browser can translate almost all Gitlab texts from English to Portuguese, but the difficulty is to understand how to manage resources.
As for the word “bullloney” there is no translation into Portuguese. Separating the word “bull loney”, “bull” refers to a bovine animal and “loney” has not been translated.
Dear colleagues, I hope I don’t generate any disagreements … My difficulty in not knowing how to speak and write in English is enough. (Thanks, ModdIt for intervening)
@andyprough, yesterday I got a glimpse of the amount of content on the Internet archive site and I’m going to test it today. I will compare between the Internet archive and MediaFire which is easier for a person to download the files.
Soon I will return after testing the Internet archive.
Thanks

@rayluo, eu agradeço por suas considerações e sugestões. Eu preciso testar o Bitbucket.
Já GitHub, esse serviço, eu não sabia até a semana passada quando o sr. Alessandro do PCLinuxOS BR havia comentado que desde 2018 é da Microsoft Corporation. Isso é algo para prestar muita atenção … As comunidades Linux alimentando os servidores desta empresa com códigos abertos, assim fica fácil demais …
However, the intrinsic learning curve of the git, is definitely much more complicated than a “file-sharing” website. That is probably why @marceloripe “found it very difficult to use this service”.
No dia 14-11-2020 eu vi como é difícil gerenciar os arquivos no Gitlab, foi difícil até para disponibilizar as traduções pt-BR para o Xecure do seu programa antix-wifi-switch. Após ficar perdido por um bom tempo, por não conseguir criar uma pasta, criei um projeto e enviei locale_pt_BR_LC_MESSAGES_antix-wifi-switch_14-11-2020.po e o antix-wifi-switch.desktop.
@skidoo, eu agradeço pelo seu tutorial, foi de grande ajuda, eu consegui criar mais fácil https://gitlab.com/collaborations-marcelocripe/antix-wifi-switch, agora só falta aprender a mover o conteúdo de /antix para /antix-wifi-switch. Uma ação que deveria ser simples parece que não estar visível. Com muita dificuldade consegui criar isso https://gitlab.com/collaborations-marcelocripe/antix, hoje consegui editar o nome do projeto para https://gitlab.com/collaborations-marcelocripe/antix-wifi-switch.
sounds like you don’t realize how much git functionality is available “right from within a web browser”.
Pode até um grande potencial o Gitlab, mas sem saber utilizar o seu potencial é a mesmo que não ter nada.
Por acaso cada projeto equivale a uma pasta?
O meu objetivo é de organizar o arquivos compactados em suas respectivas pastas. Disponibilizar a URL da pasta e a pessoa interessada poder encontrar o arquivo compactado e um arquivo de texto explicando o que fazer com o arquivo compactado.
Eu penso nas pessoas que poderão querer utilizar os arquivos compactados que estou preparando, certamente o Gitlab não é o melhor serviço para uma pessoas poder copiar a URL colar no navegador de internet e clicar no botão “Baixar”.
O navegador de internet consegue traduzir quase todos os textos do Gitlab do idioma inglês para o português, mas a dificuldade é compreender como gerenciar os recursos.
Quanto a palavra “bullloney” não existe tradução para o português. Separando a palavra “bull loney”, “bull” refere-se a um animal bovino e “loney” não encontrei tradução.
Caros colegas, eu espero não gerar desentendimentos … Já basta a minha dificuldade em não saber falar e escrever em idioma inglês. (Obrigado, ModdIt por intervir)
@andyprough, ontem eu fiquei vislumbrado com a quantidade de conteúdo do site Internet archive e vou testar hoje. Vou comparar entre o Internet archive e o MediaFire o que é mais fácil para uma pessoa baixar os arquivos.
Em breve eu retorno após testar o Internet archive.
Obrigado

Hello corsiglia,
a bit late to it. can you post a screenshot/photo of it. as far as raid did
you hit the use entire hard drive option? otherwise you have to partition the
hard drive ahead of time with gparted from the menu on the live cd before running
the install.and as mentioned there are options for laptops/desktops online without microsoft inside 🙂
In reply to: Problem with OOXML files in Libre Office
Xecure
EDIT: As you haven’t specified the Libreoffice version or your system architecture, I provided below general information for 64bit systems.
If you are running antiX 17 on a 32bit machine, then the information below is useless. For this 32bit case, try upgrading Libreoffice to the newest version using the stretch-backports (version 6.1.5 which is the newest version available for Debian stretch, I think, and maybe has better docx compatibility).Libreoffice has compatibility problems with docx files.
Try using Softmaker FreeOffice (From package installer), as I think the compatibility is better than Libreoffice.Others in the past have recommended WPS Office (Has ads, as in advertisements, but some say it has also the best Microsoft Office document compatibility), Onlyoffice (some say it has the better compatibility with Microsoft Office documents than Libreoffice and it seems to be open source, but I think it is a webapp, not sure), and some other I can’t remember right now.
IF anyone has any better recommendations, and know how to improve docx compatibility in Libreoffice, please advise.
