    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?
