In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing LibreOffice on Deepin 23. LibreOffice is a powerful, open-source office suite that provides a robust alternative to proprietary software like Microsoft Office. It includes applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.
Why Install LibreOffice via Flatpak?
We'll be using Flatpak to install LibreOffice. Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux. It offers several advantages:
- Consistent runtime environment across different Linux distributions
- Sandboxed applications for improved security
- Easy updates and rollbacks
- Access to the latest versions of applications
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Here's a detailed breakdown of the installation process:
1. Remove the current version of LibreOffice
First, we'll remove any existing installation of LibreOffice to ensure a clean slate:
sudo apt remove libreoffice*
2. Install Flatpak
Next, we'll install Flatpak, which we'll use to manage our LibreOffice installation:
sudo apt install flatpak
3. Add the Flathub repository
Flathub is the central repository for Flatpak applications. We'll add it to our system:
sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
4. Install LibreOffice
Now we're ready to install LibreOffice:
sudo flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
5. Restart and Launch
After installation, restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect. You can then launch LibreOffice from your application menu.
Additional Information
LibreOffice is a comprehensive office suite that includes:
- Writer (word processing)
- Calc (spreadsheets)
- Impress (presentations)
- Draw (vector graphics and flowcharts)

One of the key advantages of LibreOffice is its compatibility with Microsoft Office file formats, making it easier to collaborate with users of other office suites.
