This tutorial for Debian 10 explains how to install LibreOffice version 6.2 with 4 alternative solutions which are DEB, AppImage, Flatpak, and Snap (or I call it simply D.A.F.S.) you may choose one. They all do not remove the already installed version. If you want 32-bit version, choose DEB instead. If you want something else, read on, perhaps you will see good things other than AppImage. I hope this helps everybody. Go ahead and get LibreOffice 6.2 on Debian!

Testing Ubuntu 19.04 pre-release on LiveCD impresses me as it's far more quicker and lighter than 18.10 backwards to 17.04 I had tested. I can feel the performance difference. It is planned to be released on next April like usual and I tested this today in February, about two month before actual release date. It features GNOME 3.30 and LibreOffice 6.1; with icons on desktop feature and Yaru Theme. On my hardware, I didn't encounter any crash or error, on the contrary it feels smooth and responsive. I think the final release will be better and interesting. If you want to test 19.04 today, go download it from the official server. Test it yourself, or install it on your testing computer, and enjoy.

Continuing my newbie's guide of Snap and parallel installs, now, how do we install Snaps from the .snap files only? Can they be installed without internet access? The answer is yes, you can once you actually have the .snap files. You can install the same Snap files on different distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Solus, and other GNU/Linux distros) which have Snap support already. Yes, you can do it even without internet access. But for the parallel installs we need a little addition to the command lines. It is very easy to do. Read on and happy sharing!

This feature is called 'Parallel Installs' by Snap developers: you can install multiple versions of a software. The result is you can run different versions simultaneously (e.g. for reviewing or comparing purpose). It is supported since snapd 2.36. For any GNU/Linux users you just need to update your snapd to 2.36 or later in order to enjoy this awesome feature. For that purpose, we will try to install two versions of Inkscape on Ubuntu on LiveCD. I will use 0.92.4 and 1.0alpha, the most recent ones today. This example can be used for other programs as well. Enjoy!

Inkscape 0.92.4 has been released officially on 16 January 2018 but of course it does not available yet on Ubuntu official repository. We need to wait if we want it from repo. But if we use Snappy, we can get 0.92.4 right now on Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04, even 18.10. This is the way you can use to test it without harming your GNU/Linux system at all either as designer (testing new features), debugger (finding error), or reviewer (like me, writing articles). Inkscape installed from Snap will not erase existing one installed from repo: both can run simultaneously. Let's go!
