Stay up-to-date! #LibreOffice 25.2.2 is now available, and there's also an update to our previous major release: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware


Sorry but I like my office documents on my drives, I'll handle the backups myself
#LibreOffice is great :)


Our #LibreOffice 25.2 "New Features" video is available in 18 languages thanks to our awesome localisation communities! 🌎 blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource



Sometimes the smallest changes make a big difference. In future #LibreOffice versions, you can choose a currency from the drop-down with a direct click – no need to also click "OK". Learn more what our QA and Dev communities are doing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #OpenSource


It seems clear to me that the embarrassment lands squarely on the tech media, who should be far better at communicating "#OpenOffice is not what you're looking for, use #LibreOffice @libreoffice instead". That's firmly within the tech media's job.

The job of @TheASF lies primarily in maintaining software. Let them maintain whatever software, for as long as people want it maintained.


Regarding OOo vs LOo, it's not so much a matter of opinion, but a demonstrable fact that OpenOffice has been essentially abandoned and has not had a significant release in over a decade (while #LibreOffice, the successor, has had over 23+ major releases since then).

Apache's #OpenOffice is not only buggier & less featureful, it's also considered a security risk to be using it.

The chart at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffi… and comparison at openhub.net/p/_compare?project… show the staggering difference





This happened to me with MS Office Online. I began using it with my Hotmail account when if first came out. I had quite a few documents on it, then, one day, I received a message that I needed to pay for one of their plans to access my documents. That was the final time I ever used MS Office.

On the bright side, I already had #LibreOffice, so the switch was easy.

LibreOffice 25.2 is our new major release, but we're still maintaining the previous 24.8 branch for a while longer. And today we're releasing #LibreOffice 24.8.5: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #freesoftware #OpenSource


I'm happy that, not wanting to accept the monthly price hike from 7 to 10 Euros, or the annoying cursor adjacent Copilot prompt, my wife decided to finally join me and switch permanently to the latest version of LibreOffice (@libreoffice). One less customer for Microsoft, one more user for quality, free, libre and open source office software, without the annoying, planet-burning AI.

Joining a big open source project like #LibreOffice can be daunting – but rewarding too! Ndidi Folasade Ogboi recently joined our Design community, to improve LibreOffice's templates: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware


Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

  • @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
  • @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
  • @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
  • @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
  • @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
  • #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
  • #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
  • @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
  • #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
  • @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
  • @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
  • #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
  • #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
  • @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
  • @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
  • @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
  • @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
  • #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
  • @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
  • #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
  • @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
  • @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
  • #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
  • #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
  • @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
  • @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
  • @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
  • The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

New in #LibreOffice 25.2, our latest major update: A status bar icon indicates when Data ▸ Calculate ▸ AutoCalculate is switched off. #foss #opensource



We hope you're enjoying the new features in #LibreOffice 25.2! Our community of developers, from the ecosystem and volunteers, is working hard on improvements across the suite. Here's what they did in January: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource


New in #LibreOffice 25.2, our latest major update: Hovering the mouse over a heading in the Navigator displays a tooltip showing the word and character count of the content associated with it. #foss #opensource #freesoftware


#LibreOffice #foss #opensource #freesoftware
I have a serious question. Will LibreOffice ever be a product with batteries included regarding grammar and spell check on a high level? I know that we have a very good spell checking, but I was wondering if there's ever something planned to have a really working grammar and style checking tool like languagetool out of the box.


New big update! #LibreOffice 25.2 is here, with:

➡️ Better change tracking
➡️ More versatile comments
➡️ Extra theme support

...plus compatibility improvements, extra privacy options, and more: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware


just boosting in #dk #dkmastodon … 30,000 PCs are moving from Microsoft Office to #LibreOffice in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. At the recent Univention Summit 2025, we met the people handling the migration


Congratulations to Schleswig-Holstein & #libreoffice.



I've found a bug in #LibreOffice 25.2: Writer - Changing the Application Background colour in Appearance causes the menu bar to change to very dark grey, with unreadable black text, and the ruler background changes to a darker colour of what you select. - Debian 12.9 GNOME @libreoffice


#LibreOffice is used by 200 million people. Every major release goes through extensive testing – and there are regular minor updates to fix issues too. The #QA Team analyses bug reports from users, and here’s an example of how quickly they can work: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource


400 million downloads of #LibreOffice since we started! More and more people are moving to the office suite that respects your privacy, doesn't mine your data, and doesn't force AI onto your workflow: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware


Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 2019 will no longer receive software updates, technical support, or bug and security fixes after 14.10.2025.

Consider migrating to LibreOffice.

LibreOffice is free to use.
LibreOffice supports Office file formats.

Install LibreOffice and compare it with your version of Office.

Meet the #LibreOffice community at FOSDEM in Brussels, on 1 – 2 February! We'll have a stand with cool merch (stickers, pens, beer/coffee mats) and a devroom with technical talks: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware


Can #LibreOffice experts walk me through saving a document into clean, and simple, HTML? Microsoft Word has a save option to save as filtered HTML and that gets rid of the font tags and spans and stuff but does something similar exist for LO?


We're getting closer and closer to #LibreOffice 25.2, our next major release – due in early February! And the second release candidate is now available for testing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource #freesoftware
