I don't see how this directly relates; I'm not asking to change the binaries'
names or paths on the filesystem, I'm asking for the application to more
helpfully nickname itself in the Linux processes list so that it's more
recognizeable and humanized. If even Python apps can do it, why can't
LibreOffice?

> aren't there worse applications listed among the processes?

I don't really think that "There are one or two other bad* apples among the
ones listed in the screenshot" is a good reason for this app to avoid naming
itself properly like the 20+ other apps that are clearly recognizeable in that
screenshot. I'd rather want to encourage LibreOffice to lead by example like
the other good apps.

*: I don't even know which ones you are referring to in my screenshot, other
than maybe gjs and tracker-miner-fs-3... but Tracker is getting renamed
precisely to make it easier for people looking at the processes list to figure
out what they are:
