Struggle to install LibreOffice on the PinePhone

@ alaraajavamma

Thank you for your detailed answer, really helpful. PinePhone developer Martijn Braam shows us LibreOffice demos on the PinePhone:

And Jacob Crume, student in New Zealand who loves firing up virtual machines and trying out new distros:

writes a user report in which he shares that he used a Linux based PinePhone for a year, and edited often files with LibreOffice on his PinePhone:

On the contrast, my user experience with LibreOffice on the PinePhone as a Linux beginner: It took me almost a month to install LibreOffice, working everyday a little bit on it, when I tried to install it last year. It where 36 posts in the Pine64 forum together with posts of other users and supporters. After I managed to install LibreOffice, I found that the menus are buggy, and you suggested to use the Flatpak version of LibreOffice. That is where I gave up last year.

I installed now Abiword and Gnomeric following your suggestion. I will try also later on to install LibreOffice according to your instruction, thanks for the info. LibreOffice, Abiword and Gnumeric can  be installed from Flathub:

Flathub is something interesting for Linux beginners, I failed to install it from there to this date, but thanks for the info, I will try later to install LibreOffice according to your instruction.
