     All of the Linux distributions have an earlier version that what 
is available on the LibreOffice website. This is because they make some 
changes in the program before adding it to the latest version. Also 
consider that there is a cutoff date for each program included in a 
given version. Generally speaking that date is before the latest version 
of the LibreOffice website comes out.

     When I was working in the documentation project, I would regularly 
download the pre-release versions at this website. Right now I am using 
7.3.3.1 (April 13,2022) for Ubuntu which is Debian based. I think 
Xubuntu is also. I periodically check it for the latest updates. Since 
the version, that does not seem to have any more bad bugs in it, is used 
as the final release, I will be using the final release perhaps a month 
before the website  releases it to everyone.
