Install LibreOffice on Rocky Linux 9.3

Rocky Linux was created as a community-driven, enterprise-focused Linux distribution. It aims to be a downstream, binary-compatible alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), following the end of CentOS's traditional stable release cycle with CentOS 8.

Rocky Linux inherits much of its structure and compatibility from RHEL, which means it's designed to be a stable and reliable platform suitable for enterprise environments.

LibreOffice is a free and open-source office suite that provides a range of productivity tools similar to Microsoft Office. It includes applications for word processing (Writer), spreadsheets (Calc), presentations (Impress), drawing (Draw), databases (Base), and mathematical formulas (Math).

It was developed by The Document Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting open-source office software.

LibreOffice is available for various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

It supports a wide range of file formats, including Microsoft Office formats (like .docx, .xlsx, .pptx) as well as its own native formats (like .odt for text documents, .ods for spreadsheets).

LibreOffice offers many features similar to those found in commercial office suites. Writer, for example, supports advanced formatting, styles, and templates. Calc includes advanced functions and supports large spreadsheets. Impress allows for the creation of multimedia presentations.

It is highly customizable, with options to install extensions and themes to tailor the user experience to individual preferences.

Being open source, LibreOffice benefits from a large community of developers and users who contribute to its development and provide support through forums, documentation, and tutorials.

The LibreOffice suite receives regular updates and improvements, with new features and bug fixes being introduced in each release.
