• Uninstalls snap libreoffice
• Only uninstalls snap libreoffice if snap_remove equals false
• Snap_remove checks whether Snap is installed or not. Snap_remove == false → Snap is still installed → therefore remove Snap libreoffice

#snap remove libreoffice
- name: snap remove libreoffice
  community.general.snap:
    name: libreoffice
    state: absent
  become: true
  when: snap_remove == false

• Running the equivalent of apt-get update

#equivalent of sudo apt update
- name: Run the equivalent of "apt-get update"
  ansible.builtin.apt:
    update_cache: yes

• Installing the Libreoffice apt package

#install libreoffice
- name: Install libreoffice
  ansible.builtin.apt:
    name: libreoffice
    state: present
  when: libreoffice_conf == true
  become: true
