I'm on linux but I also download from the website to get the latest updates; the distro repo versions are typically quite outdated.

- t43562 2y agoI love the idea - there are a lot of things I want to watch for updates that I build or install myself from a download!
- tpoacher 2y agoThanks! If you try it and have any feedback please let me know :)
- lousken 2y agoI use libreoffice just like regular old office, once every few years I get a major update when I update my distro, it's fine too.
