#Fedora has the parts of #LibreOffice in the default install that I never ever use and lacks exactly the only part that I ever do actually use: LibreOffice Draw.

It is actually good. I try to be sometimes a cool kid and do something with Inkscape but the unfortunate truth is that I don't have talent for making visuals.

Most of drawings I've done last 10 years have ended up been made with Draw through exclusion process:

1. First I think that "this is THE day that I'll master Inkspace, I'm so excited". It should go without saying but yeah both experience and results end up being a nightmare.
2. Then I write these Mermaid and realize that the approach just plain does not work for me. I don't what it is but my thoughts both fly. I prefer writing code when it is actual source code going either upstream or production, not fake code with horrible syntax.
3. Web tools, well, not a fan, and this is universal but I often try them only to realize that I think best offline. They are horrible experience that I totally dislike from the bottom of my heart.
4. yED is kind of interesting but no.https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219383
5. LibreOffice Draw: OK I cannot say that I like this but I neither can say I dislike this so let's draw the damn picture. Not the most exciting task in my life, can't say I love this, but I get something done that I'm only mildly ashamed of.

This is it how it goes every single time.
