Re: [libreoffice-users] problems on Ubuntu

Yes, it looks like you got a box with old software. You can download up to date versions from 
https://ubuntu.com/  where the many different flavors of Ubuntu are also listed.

You'll almost never get the latest, latest LO versions from Ubuntu. The LO website lists current 
download as 7.6.0 for cutting edge stuff and 7.5.5 for more stable business deployments.

I have LO 7.5 on my Windows10 box but for my day to day use of Writer and Calc I don't notice any 
functional advantages in 7.5 over the 7.3.7.2 which is supported by Ubuntu in their LTS 22.04 os 
and which is my main every day work station.

But as a general principle, it's never good to fall too far behind with old versions.
