Fedora users are debating replacing LibreOffice with Collabora Office as the default office suite on Fedora Workstation. The discussion stems from concerns about LibreOffice's outdated UI, but opponents cite licensing issues, Collabora's reliance on Flatpak distribution, and its monetization of Collabora Online services.
Background
LibreOffice is the default office suite shipped with most Linux distributions including Fedora. Collabora Office is a downstream build of LibreOffice with additional features and a more modern UI, distributed primarily as a Flatpak.
