LibreOffice latest/stable 7.5.3.2 (2 May 2023) is available in Snap but is not offered as an update in Ubuntu 22.04.02 ? What would be the correct way of manually updating? The reason for my question is that a while ago I installed LO 7.5.[I can't remember] from the Snap Store and it was horribly slow on a beefy Ubuntu 22.04 box, and I don't want to mess up my current setup. Interestingly though the latest version of LO I installed on a new Arch Cinnamon VM in Boxes runs flawlessly... I recon uninstalling the current version and then installing the new version using apt makes the most sense, but should I maybe update Java too?

UPDATE (09 June 2023):
Just found an alternative solution and it works great. Can download and run LO Latest Version as an AppImage.

@Archisman Panigrahi - Thank you for your assistance and the links. Adding the PPA seems to be the best way to go. The only reasons I want to update is to get Tabbed View and Dark Mode. But I will do a CloneZilla SaveImage first just in case. Ironically the Snap Store offered a LO update a few hours ago, but same as currently installed version, it's just a security update...
