Well. LibreOffice successfully installed on the Librem 5!
But... I mean... It won't actually run.
... will it?
Holy smokes.
LibreOffice runs on the Librem 5!
AND IT WORKS.
Saving files, opening files, typing... the UI is a bit cramped (it's a desktop app on a phone)... but hot-diggity! It works!

i absolutely agree that things shouldn't be completely obscured to users.
if a user wants to see what's going on, then they have the right to see what's going on.
but, here's something important about non-technical users: they don't care 99% of the time what their computer does, as long as it does it right.
but yeah explaining how the system works in the first place (packages and repositories) is important, but having something easy for them to use and look at is important
@igeljaeger @uwy@niu.moe I understand that this isn't as verbose, but in order to preach switching to Linux to others, I gotta learn the easy way.
@igeljaeger @uwy@niu.moe If you want to see what it does on this screen, just hit ESC and you'll see dnf. This is good cause you reboot into a safe state where packages don't break while you're updating.
But let's say you don't wanna reboot before upgrading. Just substitute the download in dnf for an upgrade command to install packages while the system is running, so just like any other system.
@igeljaeger @uwy@niu.moe I cannot stress this enough.
This upgrade screen is REALLY important.
You may want to see whatever apt or pacman does during a system update, but in order to make a system normie proof, this is really necessary to transition them from Windows.
We're at the point where GNOME Software actually works as intended and once it finishes updating it will ask you on reboots if you want to install updates too.
