After upgrading to LO 7 on my Linux Mint system, every time I start Writer it tells me that it is the first time I’ve started it and asks me if I want to review the release notes. It also always displays tips even though I tell it I don’t want tips on startup. I would guess this is due to LO not being able to create or modify a ‘first use’ flag file or tips config file, probably due to directory ownership/permissions. If so, what file is this and where is it located?
