Fedora Discusses Replacing LibreOffice with Collabora Office
Instead of the traditional suite, the community proposes Collabora Office — an open-source office suite based on LibreOffice code, but featuring a more modern interface.
The discussion began with a proposal to remove LibreOffice from the standard Fedora installation and replace it with Collabora. Since then, this topic has become one of the most discussed in the Fedora community this week.
Nothing has been approved yet, and there is no official proposal to change Fedora. However, replacing one of the most recognizable default Linux applications is being seriously discussed.
Why it matters
