Quoting: Purple Library GuyI find it hard to imagine it being as good as LibreOffice in terms of features unless someone sank ten billion bucks into it which you'd think we'd have heard about, and then on top of that it'd be non-Free. What's the use-case here?

One thing you have to realize is that Softmaker office isn't a new player and has been around for a very long time (1994). It's just been windows only for a large part of it's life span and is just recently coming to Mac/Linux.

I find that they both have advanced feature that are missing from each other and neither one truly replaces the other, but both Libreoffice and Softmaker can be replaced with MS Office.

That said my experience switching people from MS office is that softmaker wins out as the better first impression and more intuitive UI for people moving from MS office. So Manjaro choice here makes a lot of sense as it is likely to help them capture more common people switching from windows then LibreOffice would.

Borderlands the pre-sequel for both.
Finished Borderlands 2 two months back figured it was time to finish the next game in the series.

Thus far it feels like a big DLC for the second game, and I'm not really enjoying it nearly as much. Overall it just feels really cheap story world wise like a mid-budget DLC rather then it's own game.
