Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu 16.04 and LibreOffice

I do not use the PPA for LibreOffice.  I prefer to "manually" download 
whichever version of LO I want, when I want, for my laptops and desktops 
- Ubuntu and Windows.

Yes, some with Ubuntu 16.04LTS will want to use a PPA, but my question 
is if Ubuntu 16.04 would update LO and other packages sometime between 
now and 2021 when the support will stop.

As for a different reply, Ubuntu 16.04 was installed on my spare laptop 
and did not change LO 5.0.x to 5.1.x.  This is the first time that 
installing Ubuntu did not change the LibreOffice install if it was 
different.  Most of the time, it seems that I have a version of LO newer 
than what the OS has and I will have to reinstall a newer version of LO 
after the OS removed it for a previous version.  This was the first time 
that Ubuntu did not change LO to a different version.
