Hi, NG talked about making the instructions for installing AOO on Linux more clear for the end user. E.g. "cd" could be explained as "change to the directory". That's something we should think about...
However, since AOO is not part of any repository (I know of) it now has to be installed by hand. This is a headache, given the numerous distributions and desktop environments. It may be even more stressful when "another" Office package is already installed as default. Andrea Pescetti had an interesting talk at FOSDEM 2022 about Linux packaging: https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/openoffice_linux_packaging/ If we want to have an "easy to install" package for Linux we need to do something in this respect. Otherwise AOO will remain with 1-2% users that download for Linux.
