Apparently it’s a dispute about EuroOffice changing the logo when they forked OnlyOffice?

Yes, pretty much.

OnlyOffice added a restriction that says you can't change the logo and the FSF explaining why 1. They're not allowed to add additional restrictions and 2. The AGPL's license says if they do, you can ignore them (basically).

And to be more clear: OnlyOffice also did not grant permission to use said logo. They used this to try to deny people the ability to create forks, which goes against the core principles of the AGPL and open source.

Wow, that's just ridiculous.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
