If it's anything like /r/technology there, they probably won't care. But it's good to spread the word about free software anyway.

Works nice and faster than previous versions.

Still has a bug (at least for me) in Writer where if you put more than five linked images on a page, where they're all the same image, it locks up.
Still, that's better than 4.4 - it locked up above two images...

That's an odd bug and sounds easily reproducible. Have you reported it? BTW, I just tried doing that and it worked fine... I added 7 linked, identical images before I got bored.

Yep. It seems to happen on all the computers I try it on (all Windows machines). Maybe it relates to the size of the image?

I'm finding that for Office users who don't care, it's a better alternative. Writer in particular. It's simpler and gets out of your face.
There's always people who say 'oh but I need feature X from Word' - use Word then!

You can install it via their PPA. This is the "Fresh" PPA, which is always the latest stable version.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
Edit: fixed typo

I assume by "team red" you mean AMD GPUs.
It isn't just "team red guys," it is "anyone with a functional OpenCL implementation."
AMD sped the spreadsheets up using OpenCL, so that it isn't limited to AMD hardware.

When will it come to the Ubuntu repositories?
[–] ReverendJ1 [S] ago (edited ago)
Most likely a long time. It wouldn't be added to any of the current version's repos. Ubuntu keeps software packages at the same major version through an Ubuntu release. However, you can just install it from their PPA.
Edit: typo

Okay, thanks for explaining. I never knew that they stick to the same major version for a whole release.
