So I was just looking at my artwork on my 13 year old family desktop and found out that Libreoffice was on the homescreen. I was SH9CKED to see that since me and my family probably didn't even know a single bit of Libreoffice

What 20 years of no UX improvements does

    Yep, it's one of those pieces of software that you forgot you had installed. But when you need it, it's right there.

    Am I missing something? The thread doesn't make any sense to me. The desktop wallpaper seems to be Win11's default, and as other users noted Discord and Libre Office v7.5 are not 13yo. The hardware could be 13yo, but then what?

    Libreoffice must've auto updated itself until 7.5, my parents updated the OS version, and I must've downloaded Discord for something I didn't aftaully want to do

    That's a lot of 'must have'.

    Windows 11 requires TPM 2, late 2017 CPU at least, and UEFI, which means that your parents couldn't have updated to it without circumventing the requirements. If they did circumvent it, they can't be that technically unaware, which means they probably would have heard and possibly used LibreOffice and could have installed it themselves.

    That, or, that's not a 13yo hardware.

    And it's unlikely, to say the least, that Libre Office just popped up there. So, I don't see the point of the thread and there's a lot of unlikely scenarios that makes it most likely bullshit.

    I think that's roughly the version Google still supplies to anyone who sets up the Debian-based Linux option on their Chromebooks. Google doesn't bother updating that shit.

    My country's national curriculum used to teach openoffice instead of microsoft office because of uh sorry but I forgot my years old computer syllabus, India probably has migrated to Libreoffice by now surely, I still have a couple of screenshots I believe, or maybe the email of my project is lying around somehwere.
