I don't actually know any writers by that name.

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

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!

Works nice and faster than previous versions.

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.

Now with waaaaay faster spreadsheets for any team red guys

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.

Even better!
