LibreOffice 400M Downloads, and Counting

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on linux but I also download from the website to get the latest updates; the distro repo versions are typically quite outdated.

In theory, the downloadable version lets you know when there's an update. In practice I'm using a little script [0] which I've integrated in my update manager to manage update-notifications for me.

I love the idea - there are a lot of things I want to watch for updates that I build or install myself from a download!

I 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.

I just use the flatpak version, it's always the latest version, or very close to the latest.
