I assume by "team red" you mean AMD GPUs.

It isn't just "team red guys," it is "anyone with a functional OpenCL implementation."

AMD sped the spreadsheets up using OpenCL, so that it isn't limited to AMD hardware.

I don't actually know any writers by that name.

so how do I get this on Mint? Will the packages in the repo push out libre5, or do I have to install it separate from 4.x?

You can install it via their PPA. This is the "Fresh" PPA, which is always the latest stable version.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Edit: fixed typo

Still has a bug (at least for me) in Writer where if you put more than five linked images on a page, where they're all the same image, it locks up.

Still, that's better than 4.4 - it locked up above two images...

That's an odd bug and sounds easily reproducible. Have you reported it? BTW, I just tried doing that and it worked fine... I added 7 linked, identical images before I got bored.

Yep. It seems to happen on all the computers I try it on (all Windows machines). Maybe it relates to the size of the image?

It seems to have a nice inertia going. The more it is adopted the better for all.

I am hoping for more polish on the spreadsheet. I am using it for personal spreadsheets and although not perfect it's very useable.

I'm finding that for Office users who don't care, it's a better alternative. Writer in particular. It's simpler and gets out of your face.

There's always people who say 'oh but I need feature X from Word' - use Word then!

If it's anything like /r/technology there, they probably won't care. But it's good to spread the word about free software anyway.

Yes, I've been trying to post a lot of Free Software related stuff there. It would be great if you guys helped raise it to visibility.
