As you know, this will be the final version of LO to have Semantic Versioning; all future releases will have Calendar Versioning.

    My s/o has regular crashes in Windows when I don’t remember when I last had one in Linux. Her version is less often updated than mine (I have to lay my hands on her machine to do it manually) but the problem tends to persist, although maybe a bit less lately.

    I suspect that not all platforms perform the same.

      Check out the Chocolatey package manager for Windows. It makes updates for all our common packages available through git/yum/brew easily installed/updated on Windows. PowerShell will never be anywhere near as nice as sitting at a proper linux terminal, but Chocolatey makes the Windows experience slightly more bearable when you need to use it.

        Thanks for the pointer, I’ll look into that.

        I haven’t really used Windows seriously since before they switched to NT, so I just have no idea what tools are available for it.

        I just use winget to update Libreoffice since it’s already there in windows 10/11.

        “Winget update LibreOffice” in a power shell terminal.

        Updating it manually sucks.

        Hm. According to you and others it seems to be even more random than I thought.

      I use it on windows daily for work reports. No crashes. Maybe depends on what features you’re using.

      On Linux I’ve found that the flatpak is more reliable than other delivery formats for whatever reason.
