          If you meant onlyoffice, then I think it promises better compatibility with ms office stuff and also itsinterface is closer to it, compared to libreoffice.

              Maybe there’s some confusion here.

              Collabora is a company, they funded some work on OnlyOffice which is a FOSS office suite like LibreOffice. I think they also worked on making it web hostable like Google docs (through nextcloud?)

              Edit: Apparently now there’s also collabora office suite?

              OnlyOffice and LibreOffice are both very good. The former promises better compatibility with ms office files and has an easier interface imo. LibreOffice seems way more featureful

              As for why fewer distros have onlyoffice in their repository, maybe because it’s relatively newer? Anyway, it’s available through flatpak and that’s how I use it. I haven’t tried Collabora online stuff

                Is abiword foss?
                It is the most reasonable of editors/wp I have found, LO gives me a headache looking at 1000 menus/items.
                The gtk2 version is stable as a rock, despite of some bad wrap it got last few years.
