From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For some reason they just don't want to give up.
A lot of places still use it, they don't know about LibreOffice. They also don't understand that it's not being updated.
My sister's job just switched to LibreOffice in 2018, OO is still alive and kicking in a lot of small companies
'just'? 2018 was five years ago
yes, and according to the article, OpenOffice was already abandoned for 4 years ago by then
