Adds OpenOffice to the list which is not in the package repository in any distribution and did not receive feature updates since 2013.

@kontrollierterWahnwitz Please look again as I'm referring to Apache OpenOffice not OpenOffice. Apache OpenOffice latest release was on November 2025. Though it is not a popular option it is still an option. Software can be installed in numerous ways, it is up to the user to decide not us. However, there is package repositories for Apache OpenOffice on Arch Linux AUR and FreeBSD though of course it is Unix.

Not everyone is a fan of LibreOffice.

@lemgandi Yes that is a good option.

@adamsdesk

Please name one new feature that was introduced in the November 2025 update.
