In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LibreOffice on Manjaro 20. For those of you who didn’t know, LibreOffice is a powerful office suite including word processing and the creation of spreadsheets, slideshows, and databases. It is the open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice. LibreOffice is available in 115 languages and is even used by millions of people all around the world. The latest LibreOffice 8 is available to download and mount on the Linux system.
