Calligra Office, the open-source office suite developed by KDE, has released version 4.0. This major update brings several improvements, including a revamped user interface, a transition to Qt6 and KF6, and more features for each component. This new look really establishes itself as more than just a Microsoft 365 clone.

Additionally, the settings dialogs have finally been updated to use the FlatList style, which is a more modern and user-friendly interface.
