Junior user here, sorry…
I saw that there is a new version of libreoffice 26.
When will this be available?
Grz.

Since you are posting this on the KDE forum I’ll assume you are using a Linux distribution with KDE’s Plasma as your desktop environment.
Which means your software manager will be Plasma Discover.
It has the capability to be a frontend to various “app stores” such as the distribution’s package repository or the third party Flathub repository.
Each of those can have different criteria when the publish new versions.
For example I am on KDE Neon and the LibreOffice version available through the Ubuntu repository is 24.2.2 while the one available via Flathub appears to be 26.2.1.2
Discover has a small drop-down selector in the upper right corner when an app has multiple source to select which one it should download from

Which Linux distribution are you using?
Fedora Plasma KDE.
In Discover I uninstalled LibreOffice and found the vs 26 as Flatpak. I installed that.
Is that ok?
Another option is system-upgrade from Fedora 43 to 44 Beta. I’m on Fedora 44 Beta and it comes with Libreoffice 26 already in it:
dnf list --available libreoffice-core
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Available packages
libreoffice-core.x86_64 1:26.2.0.3-0.2.fc44 fedora
Fedora 44 will be official in mid-April anyway
Yes, that’s okay. Fedora is working to update LO (other people have also complained about the outdated LO in fedora’s repos)…
It will still take some time for it to appear in fedora’s repos. The flatpak version is directly managed by The Document Foundation (the same guys who make LO), so it will be always up-to-date.
You shouldn’t suggest a “junior” user to use beta software.
I have:
Output of `kinfo`
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Kernel Version: 6.19.8-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 17 GB of RAM (16.1 GB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
This isn’t a KDE issue, it’s a distribution packaging issue - whether you install from your repository, or some other way.
When asking a question, nobody can guess if you’re running Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop, or Kaos with a KDE desktop and a really interesting curated repository structure…
So try in your terminal:
{ echo '[details="Output of `kinfo`"]'; kinfo; echo '[/details]'; } | wl-copy
Then come here and do Ctrl_V…
If that fails, then just run kinfo and copy the output.
Thanks all for your info above!

It’s working great here (F 44 beta), I have it on 5 completely different machines (3 laptop and 2 desktop) and all work great. There are different levels of “beta”, plus 44 official is due in mid April, it can’t be very “beta”
