      Description of problem:
      I can't start up libreoffice writer, I know it's not part of EPEL, but I couldn't find CentOS Stream 9 in the list of products to pick from.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      LibreOffice 7.1.8.1 10(Build:1)

      How reproducible:
      Pretty easily

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Boot up CentOS Stream 9 with KDE desktop
      2. Run libreoffice --writer after installing the package
      3. It gets this error

      Actual results:
      It crashes with this error no suitable windowing system found, exiting.

      Expected results:
      Libreoffice to work

      Additional info:

      I try to install additional libreoffice packages and I get this error, so maybe I'm just missing a package:
      [bkeys@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install libreoffice*
