From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not immediately up-to-date at all times, but I use backports. Looks like they're only a point release behind still. https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-backports/libreoffice

The only time it gets behind by a full version is if Debian Stable is really long in the tooth and Backports can't compile something due to a compiler or library being really old or if Backports hasn't been created yet because Stable is young.
