Hi Ken,
             There  any many versions of Linux, just look at 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions
to see.  If you are wishing to stay with Mint, then take a look at their 
home page. There plenty are of good options and
you will find that people have their preferences and tend to stay with 
them.  I use MX-Linux, which is based on
Debian, like MInt,  and is a mid sized but very stable operating system. 
MX has LO built in.

Where you setting your portrait/landscape option, in LO?

Gordon.
