AFAIK Libreoffice only uses Java for limited things and isn’t a requirement.
Pretty sure it’s mostly C++
Correct, Java is only needed for (letter) templates and macros.
I used it for years without any JVM installed... until I wanted to use a template. :(
Macros should work without JVM. But a few extensions (like the NLP Solver and LanguageTool) require Java.
Okay this is interesting, but still slow as hell to launch and it does fell like a Java app in a lot of ways. Funky UI behaviors like flickering and delays here and there...
Small update, under Windows, if one disables Java, Skia rendering and anti-aliasing it seems to go way faster and the UI behaves better:
Yeah I find it a lot snappier in Fedora than on windows.

Nothing is snappy under GNOME.
