Big fucking deal. My Fedora 40 KDE spin has 24.2.3.2. All I had to do was
run 'sudo dnf upgrade' and go do something useful while all the apps,
including the kernel, are updated.

 
First question, how in the world did LibreOffice get to release 24 from
release 7? Second question, who really cares if you have the latest version
of LibreOffice?

They started using a version system similar to that of Ubuntu. To be
honest, I rather like it. Much like Windows *95*, it's comprehensible.

What's incomprehensible about a release number that follows the last release
number, like 8 after 7? But, oddly enough, until I read your post I didn't
see any point jumping 17 versions. It was not comprehensible to me. So what
happens in 2524?

And, should I need LibreOffice 24.2.3.2 on my Linux Mint 21.2 machine, it's
a one-click, Flathub install away. So much for the "LibreOffice advantage"
when using Gentoo. But I guess compiling applications gives Diego Garcia
something to do with his life. And, if he enjoys it and "fulfills" him in
some way, more power to him.

anything can break at any moment, Larry must be in heaven with Gentoo.

If that's the case, I would suggest you buy British cars and motorcycles (if
there are still any made in England). I liked my Sunbeam Alpine and my
Triumph Bonneville, but they definitely required constant tinkering. Fun to
drive/ride though.
