Updating Libre Office requires that I shut down the Steam Web Client or trigger a reboot. Whats 'really' going on here?

[DarkCrystalMethod]

Does Libre Office depend on steam? What nonsense is this?

[davidb11]

Weird Libre Office website does that.
I would imagine something akin to Ublock can stop that.

ngl my personal fav alt to Libreoffice is VIM. If you prefer GUI's go with emacs. They are begineer friendly ngl.

Hmmm.

Originally, I used to use Open Office and gave up on it. For a while it was questionable if they gave up on themselves.

Well, it did become Libra Office.

You should try VIM. It's user friendly, there is hardly any shortcuts, it's interface is really cool, and it's really easy to exit out of the program, I sometimes do it by accident.

Apparently, they started barely, sorta, kinda keeping OO going.

From the best that I can decipher it, it's weird.

I just might.

This is no joke. I have THOUSANDS of pages created on (mostly) LO.

Before my medical nightmare hit, I created thousands of pages of topics that were multimedia. Every time I would rewrite them, I would include things like more visual, more visuals. Keep em' entertained and on the page!

That is how I learned digital art.

Those became the core of my old website in which I took tech, made it work for real people and explained it *&^^$# English. It wasn't about throwing around big words. It was about basic people actually standing a chance.

But when creating those old write-ups, doing them on those office programs was a real formatting nightmare.

Wow was it a pain!

Lol. Yeah I was sort of joking. Genuinely (though) Vim is actually good, it's your basic plain text editor, but it gets it done well. Yes the shortcuts are something you have to learn, but you don't really need to know them, you can just know how to save & exit. I know that Vim is plain text, but do I need flashy stuff all over the place, and if I'd like to display a photo, I'd just tell the person (me) to go to this photo in this location on my computer.

Weird, seems like a glitch on your computer based on how things work.
Never heard of Libreoffice ever causing massive corruption on files.

Strange.

Apache isn't a huge company, so, no need to bring weird conspiracies here into it.

I use Libreoffice after getting my computer back in 2010, before that, I was using Open Office.

Maybe Steam was inventorying installed programs and had files open causing Windows Installer to detect locked files.

This doesn't happen on Linux because if a file is locked the system will invisible write the new version of the file, cause further file opens to load ir, and delete the old one once it is released from the locking process.
