LibreOffice is a free and open-source office suite. It uses the international standard OpenDocument file format (ODF) as it's native format to save documents. It also supports the file formats of most other major office suites (including Microsoft Office).
The latest "fresh" version of LibreOffice is recommended for technology enthusiasts while the mature "still" version of LibreOffice is recommended for enterprises.
New Features in 24.8
The latest major release of LibreOffice, comes with better performance, improved compatibility, and many new features to boost productivity.
Differences between LibreOffice and OpenOffice
LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice (meaning that the development took a different approach to continue growing). It continues adding new features, improve Microsoft Office compatibility, and has regular releases with security updates.
