I simply like the comment that no office suite should be bundled at all.

The original argument raised for suggesting Collabora Office replace LibreOffice is due to the "very ancient" UI of LibreOffice along with other different issues experienced.

Problems around Collabora Office licensing were raised, it being distributed principally as a Flatpak, Collabora Office serving as a conduit for their paid services and Collabora Online, and other potential barriers. Those wanting to use Collabora Office regardless of the defaults can easily install it in Flatpak form via Flathub.

I wonder if there are also motivations related to LibreOffice's stance on AI versus the corporate movement towards agentic desktops.

Same here!

Probably so. LibreOffice works perfectly for me and I have no reason to switch or encourage Fedora to remove it from their default programs.

I prefer the current UI of LibreOffice. It maintains the classic environment with useful icons right where they should be.

As to bugs in file conversion, etc, I’d say that these fixes should be applied to LibreOffice. If someone really needs absolute compatibility with complex Microsoft Office documents that LibreOffice cannot provide, I think the correct option is to not change LibreOffice or even use Collabora Office, but to run the actual Microsoft programs to have 100% compatibility, not just better that may sometimes still fail.

LibreOffice should remain the default for Fedora.

I don't get why would they not use ai. Now is the time to completely kill ms office
