LibreOffice 4.4.5 is out. LibreOffice 5.0 is around the corner

Hey fellas!
Thank god that craze was over, now let me return to what I really love, open source!

LibreOffice’s next milestone is just around the corner, it should be there on  Wednesday the 5th of August. but let’s talk about the latest version first!
LibreOffice 4.4.5 is the fifth minor release of the LibreOffice 4.4 family bringing 80 fixes over the previous version.
It’s also replacing 4.3.7 as the stable branch of development (means it’s stable)!
Feel free to download it from this link.

Now that we covered 4.4.5 let’s talk in detail about the much awaited 5.0 milestone.
To make things more clear the document foundation has made a chart highlighting the development milestones of LibreOffice since it took over Apache Open Office in 2011.

Among the features it’s having a 64x version for Linux, Mac, And Windows alongside the 32x version.
And will be Windows 10 compatible (I am running 4.4.3 with no issue on 10 btw).

Are you excited? I know I am and I have been waiting all summer for this release! It’s so good to see an open source project take off with confidence and make global impact!
Will you download it?

3 reasons you never heard of linux

This article is based on my opinions, so don’t treat it as solid facts, you be the judge of whatever you read, you decide what is best for you.

Why you never ever heard of Linux?

It’s the origin of most operating systems (Windows, Android, Nokia S40).

It’s virtually impossible to be infected by viruses (Bad news for Anti virus makers huh?)

It’s a free operating system, Complete with applications, office suite, image manipulation software, multimedia tools, and many other features all free of charge (Again bad news for office makers who charge 100$ per year for a single license, and image manipulation software who charge 700$ per license).

Are there other reasons? Do you have comments on my post? Please chime in 🙂
