Office Software is not included by default in KDE Neon

[jonchun]

This one is definitely going to cause contention, and so this issue likely depends on #3 since users will want the option to not install this.

Look into which office software works the best / test them out, and then package it by default.

Votes for your favorite options in this issue if you want to have a say. I bet it will most likely end up being LibreOffice, but am unsure.

Some prelim research:

While I'm at it, should look into alternatives for all the default dock icons on macOS. Here's all of them on a fresh dock:

Finder, Siri, Launchpad, Safari, Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Maps, Photos, Messages, Facetime, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, News, iTunes, App Store, Settings

Off the bat Siri, Messages, and Facetime direct equivalents are not happening

Alreaady have the following equivalents:
Finder = Dolphin
Launchpad = Application Launcher widget
Safari = Firefox
App Store = Discover
Settings = System Settings
Photos = Gwenview
??? = Okular [On macOS the equivalent seems to be Adobe Acrobat Reader]

Tentative:
Messages = https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/releases/tag/v5.4.3
Mail = https://snapcraft.io/mailspring | https://kde.org/applications/internet/org.kde.kmail2
Contacts = https://kde.org/applications/office/org.kde.kaddressbook
Calendar = 
Notes = https://snapcraft.io/tusk
Reminders = https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/swell-to-do-list-task-man/konabofoegdfmjibecgaobhhnapbmpke?
Maps = 
Pages = LibreOffice || Calligra  
Numbers = LibreOffice || Calligra
Keynote = LibreOffice || Calligra
News = https://news360.com/home
News = https://news.google.com/topstories?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en
News = https://getpocket.com/?utm_source=zapier.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zapier
News = https://flipboard.com/?action=onboard
iTunes = Banshee/Rhythmbox?

After testing out a the few products available, I'm pretty certain I will ship LibreOffice by default. There's just nothing else that compares.

For a mail app, all of the popular linux ones are just plain ugly.

I think Tusk makes for a good Notes app.

Most of the KDE apps I checked out are just... not very good (or look very dated). I'll investigate ways to reskin them, but it's not looking good on the KDE side outside of the Desktop environment itself.

I think there's no good music player. There is Elisa, but that seems to not solve the problem of working with mobile devices. However, doing so me research into it shows some good feedback such as users here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/amss1j/to_all_linux_users_with_iphone_how_do_you_use/

Perhaps it's not worth installing an iTunes replacement and just shipping with Elisa which looks good and seems to just get the job done.

Definitely will need some sort of "advanced install" page where users can check boxes or something to unselect these apps because with this decision I've long since past the "non-invasive" part of this script.
