I wrote in an earlier post how I'd migrated from using LibreOffice native installation to LibreOffice flatpak installation. The primary reason for the migration was to get the latest LibreOffice release, which the flatpak provided but regular Linux Mint (meaning Debian/Ubuntu) did not provide. At the time of writing about the migration I was asked if the flatpak would stay up-to-date. I didn't have an answer then, but I do now: the flatpak keeps up-to-date, as it did today on my Linux Mint installation.
The LibreOffice flatpak showed up as a regular update in Linux Mint's Update Manager.
What was unusual was this "additional software" that was going to be installed along with the flatpak update. I accepted it.
When I checked LibreOffice's version after the update, it was the latest. A check of the LibreOffice.org website showed at least 7.5.4; the final dot version number wasn't there, but that's not an issue.
Now more than ever I'm a solid user of applications via flatpak installation.
