Have you had the chance to read the dnf man page?
Each <spec> can be either a <package-spec>, which specifies
a package directly, or a @<group-spec>, which specifies an (environ‐

I did, but it is not clear (at least to me) about where to use the @ symbol and where not
to. Which was kind of my point/question.
Samuel did answer that. It is the way to distinguish between a group name and package
name.
You can see this by the difference in using
sudo dnf autoremove libreoffice
and
sudo dnf autoremove @libreoffice
Any ways this does not still explain why the entire LibreOffice group is blank, and why I
can't remove LibreOffice cleanly in one go via the group that it is supposed to be a
part of.
You can use....
dnf group list
to get a list of the installed groups
The LibreOffice group does exist for me, but alas, it is empty.
So.....
dnf group info LibreOffice
returns nothing?
