  • For LibreOffice, I’d go with, worse and better at the same time.

    • I have just noticed, overtime, that it has some problems in some cases, where MS Office does better, while there are certain cases where it does better.

    There are 2 major pain points though:

    1. Calc UI stutters when using the scrollbar with mouse click and drag.
    2. Adding images to files makes the whole thing way slower than acceptable.

    I haven’t used it for a few months though, so something might have changed. But the second issue specifically is a long time one.

    On the other hand, the formula usages are much better in Calc. Also, the documents don’t get wonky between versions as much as MS Office



  • LMDE

    Oops! I thought it was some obscure DE.

    Considering your points, it seems to be most probably some configuration issue.
    Might even be that some of the automated monitor/display configuration tools (might be some GUI settings thing) wonked out and reconfigured something.

    If your system has some shortcut combination for selecting external monitor/connected projector/mirror screen, perhaps you can try that.

    Also, since you mentioned xrandr, I would assume X Session. You can also use xrandr to check and set the monitor configuration. Not just whether it is connected, but also location (left/right/up/down) and screen resolution of each display separately. Perhaps trying those could tell you what is happening.








    1. Any recent software updates that you might find relevant?
    • It would be good to know which distro you use
    • “Samsung commercial” would make me believe it doesn’t get automatic updates, but just in case, that is also a factor.
    1. Does the TV work with other input sources on the same port?
    2. Reading “Samsung”, I would assume it has multiple input ports. What was the result with other ports.
