libreofficedev26.8 doesn't start:
/opt/libreofficedev26.8/program/oosplash: CPU ISA level is lower than required
I suspect SSE3 is missing.
Is this a bug or does LibreOffice not support older CPUs?
See this report for details:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169747
LibreOffice code itself does support CPUs at the x86-64-v1 level.
However, the build toolchain in AlmaLinux 9 only supports the v2 level.
This means that the nightly builds at the moment require a v2 level CPU
to run. This was only discovered after the baseline was raised to
AlmaLinux 9 and we haven't really had time to react or think about it much.
As Linux users get their LibreOffice from distro packages, we probably
would not set up a build box for stable release builds that run on v1
CPUs. Offering separate v1 builds would also complicate the downloads
web page.
