Unfortunately, LibreOffice is likely to be something of a "pig" and not run
well on an older and underpowered machine very will. And the same is true of
a "modern" (bells and whistles) desktop GUI.
These older machines are probably more suited low-end desktop GUI (what might
be termed a less-user-friendly desktop GUI). And maybe for a more nerdy /
old-school-UNIX-ish user, using mostly CLI, simple text editor, coding, and
being patient waiting on compiles. And probably not newbies playing with word
processing.
