I couldn't launch LibreOffice for like, 3 days, earlier this year after a botched ArchLinux upgrade that moved some libraries it needed.

Thats a thing though with Rolling release models.

All software can suffer from that, but thats what you wanted so idk why this falls back onto Libre Office

I've had similar things break when I was on Arch years ago. My wife was quite unhappy that she couldn't log in to use it (I think it was a graphics driver thing). Even though I usually like Fedora, I recently settled on Void for my personal workstation and I've been thoroughly enjoying it.

That sounds like an ArchLinux problem rather than a LibreOffice problem?

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like there's maybe something else in this sentence that might be a greater source of your issues

Thats not really the fault of LibreOffice, is it now? Thats like me complaining about not being able to use my oven after I blew my fusebox

Yeah LibreOffice isn't wrong to throw shade but no matter how soft their wares are, they shouldn't throw them in glass houses.
