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

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's what Flatpak is for. It runs smoothly and independently of the distribution.

This is why I stopped using Arch, just wait until you update and try to reboot and it doesn’t work, then you have to update again via mounting your disk through a liveusb installer.

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

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

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

Isn't it the same for this Microsoft Office outage?

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

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

And I doubt the root cause issue here is with Microsoft Office Suite

So? The operating system package manager breaking packages is a different type of problem to an online service being down. LibreOffice presumably did not break in Debian or Nix.
