That's a matter for the Alpine packagers really, right now they're still packaging 7.6.

Frankly it doesn't seem a great idea on the Libreoffice side to EOL both currently supported versions of their product within 6 months of each other and without another LTS version for people to move to yet.

Thanks! @thespad . I will close this ticket and watch for https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=libreoffice&branch=v3.20&repo=&arch=&maintainer=

One more question before closing this, do you know how to prevent user from switching to root? Right now, user can switch to root in terminal by running sudo -s, and our security does not like this. Thanks

You've got a few options; you could uninstall sudo, you could remove the abc user from the wheel group, or you could edit the sudoers file, all via https://www.linuxserver.io/custom
