Google Docs, Microsoft 365 and Office on the web, as well as other (online) editors and of course products like LibreOffice are available for Office needs. LibreOffice 7.4.0 is now available for download – for Windows, Linux and macOS. The new features of LibreOffice 7.4 Community were developed by 147 contributors: 72% of code commits come from the 52 developers working in three companies that sit on the advisory board of TDF – Collabora, Red Hat and allotropia – or other organizations (including The Document Foundation) and 28% come from 95 individual volunteers.
