Last week i saw a couple of times that "Fedora killed libre office" but still don't understand why and how. Someone is so kind to explain that to me?

They didn't. LibreOffice devs wanted to provide support exclusively through Flatpak. Thus making native installations not supported. In stead of spending time on maintaining native package they just tell users to use Flatpak. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/46ZZ6GZ2W3G4OJYX3BIWTAW75H37TVW6/

Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?

Your concerns are valid.

In my opinion the easiest solution, if you don't know what youre doing (or dont wanna care) would be to use exclusively an immutable distro. That would lock you out of tweaking the system, but also heavily limit any potential malware. This should be sufficient imo:

  • keep system up to date
  • dont run programs or commands from unofficial channels
  • have firewall enabled and running
  • make offline backups of user files
  • use immutable distro
