Vulkan API

I have recently been told about this repository which helps to add Vulkan support to your Ubuntu installed.  I must say I don't know how much difference it make to my install, but I guess it also does no harm.

LibreOffice and OpenOffice

When Sun was brought by Oracle, OpenOffice was replaced by LibreOffice.  Although they are supposedly very similar, it seems the LibreOffice is a bit less polished then the OpenOffice, and a bit slower too it seems.

Luckily putting back OpenOffice is not that difficult.   With three easy steps, and you are there:

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install openoffice

Just read Google has a repository for their software, and want to share.
