LibreOffice 26.8 is out – local first, and with no AI
It looks a bit clunky, but it does the job – and on your own computer
The latest LibreOffice 26.8 release, announced by the Document Foundation, emphasizes local functionality and avoids artificial intelligence. Linux users can rely on LibreOffice, a free and effective alternative to Microsoft Office, which is recommended as a replacement for outdated OpenOffice. The press kit highlights 120 language support, enhanced paragraph handling, ARIA accessibility features, and compatibility with both native and MS Office formats.
Despite TDF's rivalry towards Collabora, LibreOffice remains a crucial tool for many, especially for those seeking local-first solutions.
