This worked for me. Even hunspell or myspell, as suggested by resplin, didn't work.
However adding this extension to Libre Office worked like charm: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/english-dictionaries/
You'll need to go to Tools > Extension Manager > Add > {upload extension file}. Restart.

Install the Toolbox App or use Snap instead
Download the tarball .tar.gz from the Toolbox App web page.
Refer: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/
Extract the tarball to a directory that supports file execution.
For example, to extract it to the recommended /opt directory, run the following command:
$ sudo tar -xzf jetbrains-toolbox-1.13.4801.tar.gz -C /opt
Execute the jetbrains-toolbox binary from the extracted directory to run the Toolbox App and select which product and version you want to install. After you run the Toolbox App for the first time, it will automatically add the Toolbox App icon to the main menu.
$ sudo snap install intellij-idea-ultimate --classic
$ sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic

Did NOT work with Ubuntu 20.04 installation
There's a setting with Cisco AnyConnect to "Allow local (LAN) access when using VPN (if configured)
Refer: https://www.lullabot.com/articles/fixing-docker-and-vpn-ip-address-conflicts (pdf)
By default Cisco AnyConnect was interfering with Docker running on localhost. The fix was to have Docker use a different range of IP addresses.
$ sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json
And the restart your computer.
For Ubuntu 20.04, download the Ubuntu_20.04_Printer_Setup.zip file and follow the instructions.
For Ubuntu 18.04 18.04 setup it was necessary to go through the browser base setup instead of the GUI based setup:
Important - Security is messed up and a fix is required:
Refer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1769893
$ sudo usermod -aG lpadmin YourUserName
As you go through the settings choose the CUPS option for MX900 and NOT the driverless version. It should look something like:
Canon MX920 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.13 (color, 2-sided printing)
Older Items from Research - DO NOT USE - Does NOT Work
Go here, to copy off the drivers, you will have to be sudo and copy them and change permissions
/etc/cups/ppd for files ending in ".ppd"
Trying to troubleshot MX922 Cannon printer, seemed to stop working after 18.04.1 upgrade.

Ingredient Ratios for Normal Box
Need to figure out a way to mix the butter, half-n-half and cheese packet better, maybe ahead of time?
Use a medium glass bowl with a little oil on top of the water
The pasta provided in Kraft Macaroni & Cheese packages cooks in about 12 minutes in the microwave on high, stirring every 5 minutes. Use a 2-quart bowl or casserole dish to hold the noodles and the water, and leave it uncovered while it cooks. To save the step of draining the noodles after they've cooked, the manufacturer suggests using 1 3/4 cups water for the standard-size package. If you're using family style or another larger Kraft Macaroni & Cheese product, check package instructions so that you add just enough water to be absorbed by the macaroni.
Laptop fan started running continuously, removed the application.
