Thread 513813979

remember when microsoft showed middle finger to win7 users? no longer word and excel documents for you

well now the freeware developers do the same shit!

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/25.8

LibreOffice 25.8 has landed, and while it packs in new features and speed improvements, the biggest headline is who just got left behind.

>If you are still running Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, this is the end of the road.

LibreOffice will not run on those systems anymore, and there are no workarounds. However it is possible someone invents a compatibility layer but that seems a lot of work and there isnt one right now. For sure libreoffice developers themselves arent going to bother.

For years, LibreOffice kept older Windows users afloat while Microsoft and other developers moved on. That lifeline is gone. Anyone stubbornly clinging to Windows 7 or 8 now has two choices: upgrade or stay stuck on outdated software. Like libreoffices previous version which would still work.

And the cuts do not stop there.

>32-bit Windows (Windows 10 had a 32-bit version as well!) builds are on their way out, with deprecation already in place

>>513813979 (OP)
oh no an ancient os lost support
do you also cry about xp or windows nt not being supported by the majority of software out there?
switch to linux or be a good goy and upgrade to win 11

>>513813979 (OP)
My workplace still uses Windows 7. They just don't update the software.

>>513813979 (OP)
shitty retarded thread
if you're stuck with windows 7 why do you expect to run the latest third party software? don't update, after all you are already used to not updating. faggotnigger. and no that doesn't mean I suggest using the latest jeetware from microshit

>>513814215
The problem is even linux is getting kiked. This whole bullshit with ReiserFS is a perfect example of perfectly fine running software getting "deprecated" because the writer is guilty of wrong think.
Not to mention their absolute disregard for the GPL and how they are selling these peoples work without compensation.
It's almost getting to the point where you are going to have to write and compile your own OS if you want something not fucked by corporations.

>>513813979 (OP)
Buy a Microsoft Office license for g2a for $3. It's worth the money compared to shit riddled slopware like Libreoffice

But can it run Crysis?

>>513815355
the question is, will it run on top of windows 7

>>513813979 (OP)
Why do you need to constantly update word processors?

>>513813979 (OP)
Discard tailless women.

>>513815501
its not only about a word processor but spreadsheet also

>>513813979 (OP)
Windows 7 is significantly outdated. If you don’t want to use newer versions of Windows at least use a recent flavor of Linux

>>513813979 (OP)
No more updates is a blessing nowadays. All they do is add AI bullshit and break things.

>>513813979 (OP)
>freeware
LibreOffice is FOSS, you mongolian pullanigger.

India btfo

>>513813979 (OP)
The only reason people love win 7 is because it's more simple to use than the next ones, some still use it because of nostalgia, and others just don't want to buy win 11 and doesn't have the brain cells needed to download a flavor of linux.

TempleOS status?

Bro please. The murder happened in 2006 and ReiserFS was removed from the kernel in 2022. I don't see a real connection. You can still add it to and use it with your Linux system if you want to, there is literally nothing stopping you. It's just an ancient filesystem that would stop working anyways in 2038 and not many people were using it anyways.

>>513813979 (OP)
Just don’t update? If it works, it works

>>513815888
How? I'm Indian and I never even heard of LibreOffice up until this post. We all use ms word like normal people

>>513813979 (OP)
Nigga, just use latex. Also, fuck windows.

>>513816432
Academic only meme language

>>513813979 (OP)
all the over versions are still available with work on win 7.
libreoffice is not a security risk unless you're a retard.

>>513815628
Use Joogle Docs

>>513813979 (OP)

liberace? i thought that faggot ran a mac?

winners use onlyoffice.

>>513813979 (OP)
I still use win7 and I won't ever use windows 8 or above. It's OSX and linux for me from here on. And obviously Linux preferred wherever possible.

>>513813979 (OP)
It's quite interesting that all of this shit is easily bypassed by simply faking Win 10 or 11. This shit is just virtual signaturing. There are literally no 10 or 11 functions that are REQUIRED for an office program to work.

>>513813979 (OP)
WIll Libre still work on my Windows95 system??

>>513815246
The writer is not guilty of wrongthink, he is an insufferable faggot who keeps fucking shit up, ignoring the practices Linux demands be used in order to prevent regressions, and then goes on a tirade every single time someone points it out. It it surprising that his shit file system was deprecated out of the kernel years ago.

>>513816244

Go eat some shit Jeetoz

>>513815246
you talk like a faggot

>>513813979 (OP)
It doesn't really matter if you're on win, mac or some open source OS, they only need you to keep taking your booster updates. it makes the ecosystem safer for everyone!

>>513813979 (OP)
It may also shock you to learn the don’t support windows 3.1 or windows 95
