Two weeks ago, we released LibreOffice 7.6, our new major version of the office suite. And so far we’ve had 1,587,383 downloads from our site! (So that doesn’t include Linux distributions that package it themselves.) We hope all users are enjoying it, and the many new features. Some more stats: 31,519 impressions of the announcement […]

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

    It still sucks though. It doesn’t play nice with dark mode on Windows at all. I’ve been trying to get away from Google docs and I was hoping Libre would be a decent alternative, but it just feels bloated and clunky in comparison. I really wish it didn’t.

    If anyone has alternatives I’m all ears.

      It doesn’t suck, it’s just different from what you are used to. Especially the compatibility to Excel-Formulars impresses me.

      But of course there are open source alternatives. OnlyOffice is often recommendet if you prefer the Microsoft Office look. I think you could also self host it to make it a real alternative to google docs, but I haven’t looked into it.

      Avoid Openoffice, it sounds similar to Onlyoffice. It is the predecessor of libreoffice and deprecated.
