Calligra is the office and graphics suite developed by KDE and is the successor to KOffice. With some traditional parts like Kexi and Plan having an independent release schedule, this release only contains the four following components: Calligra Words: Word Processor Calligra Sheets: Spreadsheet Application Calligra Stage: Presentation Application Karbon: Vector Graphics Editor The most significant updates are that Calligra has been fully transitioned to Qt6 and KF6, along with a major overhaul of its user interface.

I loved Calligra. I left it for LibreOffice in favor of more stability and feature support, but I loved Calligra’s approach to document making, and Karbon’s canvas was something that inspired creativity. I hope this marks a path of future improvements and revival of the suite.

I tried it, it just deleted a 20 page document that i needed, after a crash. Fuck it.

Whoa, I was convinced Karbon wasn’t going to see any further Calligra releases. Seemed to have zero maintainers last I checked, thought it’d go the way of Braindump and Author.
