This sounds like it doesn't count the use of libreoffice in Linux distros. I never download it for example. I suppose that 400mil downloads is probably from Windows and Mac users.
I used to consider it very heavy but my daughter's Raspberry pi runs it fine.
I use the Draw component the most. It is great for drawing boxes with text connected by arrows which is what my main use case is. Miro is better because it scales text when you scale a box and if Draw could do this I'd be in heaven.

- tpoacher 2y agoI'm on linux but I also download from the website to get the latest updates; the distro repo versions are typically quite outdated. In theory, the downloadable version lets you know when there's an update. In practice I'm using a little script [0] which I've integrated in my update manager to manage update-notifications for me.

- t43562 2y agoI love the idea - there are a lot of things I want to watch for updates that I build or install myself from a download!
- tpoacher 2y agoThanks! If you try it and have any feedback please let me know :)
- lousken 2y agoI use libreoffice just like regular old office, once every few years I get a major update when I update my distro, it's fine too.
- EasyMark 2y agoI just use the flatpak version, it's always the latest version, or very close to the latest.
- bdcravens 2y agoThat would make sense, since that would ridiculously inflate those numbers. I bet I've installed Open/LibreOffice a couple of dozen times inadvertently.
- hahn-kev 2y agoDraw is great, I use it to edit PDFs, though it doesn't always handle that very well, it's really nice when I need to do some simple stuff.
