#20 Replace Calligra by LibreOffice
Closed: Fixed 3 years ago by siosm. Opened 3 years ago by carlschwan.

Hello, I'm a KDE developer and worked a bit on Calligra and in its current form. I wouldn't recommend shipping Calligra by default. Calligra is not really maintained anymore other than fixing compilation errors and warnings.

I would suggest instead LibreOffice by default on the KDE Fedora Spin. The integration with KDE is really good (breeze theme, native file dialog) and it's the only serious open-source office suite.
Cheers,
Carl

+1 from me. I can make this happen in fedora-comps

I'd probably lean toward not installing an office suite at all, with the primary goal of slimming the default install.

That's what fedora workstation does I believe, but please do correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Workstation ships LibreOffice on the media. There are currently no plans to remove it.

I'm just a user, not a maintainer, but I think is a great idea. Calligra is lacking compared to LibreOffice, and having the same suite as the main spin would be a wonderful change.
