LibreOffice 25.2.3 released
Latest maintenance release brings improved stability and fixes to the powerful free office suite Berlin, 30 April 2025 – The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the release of LibreOffice 25.2.3, the third maintenance release of the LibreOffice 25.2 family for Windows (Intel, AMD and ARM), Ma...
LibreOffice is the GOAT of office software
OnlyOffice looks so much better and simpler.
It's disgusting how many businesses have been herded into wasting money on products they can be using for free, then convincing customers they "need more money."
LibreOffice is pretty far from Microsoft Office. Even Google's suite is more polished. Like it or not, funding behind a project helps build a stronger product.
Probably better to think of spending their money on an open ecosystem, instead of just using something for "free". If software products have sufficient funding they can better improve the products and can continue to exist - without some form of monetisation most wouldn't still be around.
Libreoffice is not 100% Microsoft word though dawg
I'm fully in support of LibreOffice and the fact that it can do a lot for free. However it is far from an enterprise product.
I'm still waiting for anybody to make a true competitor to Excel. There's some decrnt spreadsheet software but there's really no comparison to the functionality of Excel. Even Google sheets is a distant second.
My point is, when there are power users involved LibreOffice just won't cut it.
Best Office software 🥰
I like how their release announcements always kind of read like press releases. Even when it's just the third maintenance release for some normal release train.
For those who think Libreoffice is the best FOSS software out there, you should try switching to dark mode and tell me how you feel
What point are you trying to make?
That there's better FOSS software (just generally)?
That there's better FOSS document editing software?
That you don't like Libreoffice dark mode?
It looks pretty good to me
Not sure where he is going with that. My only gripe with dark mode is that the equation editor font is also black so it is impossible to see what you are writing. I am sure a fix is around the corner
i have tried self-hosting libreoffice with nextcloud and it sucks. can anyone help?
Onlyoffice seems a little bit better.
selfhosting libreoffice? what do you mean?
Nextcloud can embed Collabora Code (essentially Libreoffice) so you can open all your documents in Nextcloud in the browser and edit them together with multiple people.

Works pretty well.
Same question
