This puts LibreOffice ahead of rivals such as OnlyOffice, WPS Office, and of course Microsoft Office, all of which give you just the ribbon-type UI whether you like it or not. As before, there's a choice of UIs: you can have old-style menus and toolbars, or a single context-sensitive toolbar, or a tabbed toolbar (which is to say, a ribbon), if you like that sort of thing, which can be full-size, compact, or moved to a sidebar – especially useful on widescreens. We liked this – frankly they were verging on drab before. This version is a bit prettier than before, with new, much more colorful icons for both the individual modules and their respective documents. LibreOffice, formerly known as OpenOffice, and before that StarOffice, is the go-to FOSS office suite, but there's always room for improvement.

Windows and Mac users can just download it, and for Linux types the new version is already up on Flathub. FOSDEM The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 7.5 with a host of improvements.
