Linux

I typically use libreoffice, but if I ever have the time to learn latex I’ll switch, I’ve heard nothing but good things aside from the learning curve

I use Markdown (very rarely LaTeX too) in Neovim, and LibreOffice for anything I can't do in Markdown.

Sometimes I'll start up the MarkdownPreview plugin I have, but typically I don't.

If I need to share it, I'll typically convert to PDF with pandoc or a random tool online if I can't get pandoc to work the way I want it.

Libreoffice usually, but I was a dedicated Google docs user for years and I do miss the auto-syncing since it meant I could never really lose my work but I've been trying to reduce my Google usage. I'm travelling at the moment (months long trip) so haven't been able to set up some sort of alternative system without access to all my devices.

Markdown for myself, Google Docs when I'm collaborating with others, and OnlyOffice after puking a little in my mouth for having received a docx or pptx by email.

Depends on the use case. For my own stuff I usually use LibreOffice, for docx compability I use OnlyOffice and for presentations I use Latex with TexStudio.

I mostly use Libre Office, and sometimes Gnome Office

Libre Office user for over a decade, recently moved to OnlyOffice and liking it a lot so far. Seems to do better with MS formats than LibreOffice, snappy and responsive. UI is cleaner IMO.

Libre is still good though.

LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export... and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄

I'd say 95% Markdown + Pandoc for when I make documents. The other 5% is LibreOffice.

When it comes time to make graphs and charts I really like wasting my time so I always try out something new (or old) to get the job done. Last time I used Pygal.

When it comes to dealing with docs from colleagues, it is all LibreOffice and Zathura.

I use LibreOffice. It’s pretty much the gold standard for FOSS office apps.

That being said, I tend to save most of my simpler documents as regular, old-fashioned plain text whenever possible, whenever there’s no formatting to save.

I’m getting into Linux which ones would guys recommend?

OnlyOffice, I think it has the most polished UI and the LanguageTool plugin is really handy

If I am forced to use word documents, then Onlyoffice.

Otherwise Latex for text and presentation (beamer).
For tables I use the terminal program sc-im, which also works with excel files.

I work mostly with texts, but if I need something office-y, I go old school: gnumeric for spreadsheets and abiword for documents

At home a combination of Emacs with org-mode and iWorks, I use the icloud version on Linux. I have an annyoing issue with LibreOffice and that is why I have stopped using it. The issue is that sometimes (often) the last five lines of the document is not saved.

Mostly LibreOffice, although sometimes also Google Docs (for Collab).

Because LibreOffice is available as the default office suite on most Linux distributions.

I use LibreOffice. I was using office 365 on my laptop and I just got sick of microsoft (especially after that incident where it took them six months to give me back access to my outlook account essentially rendering many services on my old PC useless) so I started looking up alternitives to Word.

My family had been using KingSoft which is a hot buggy mess so I chose LibreOffice instead. It was one of the first open source apps I chose after leaving Microsoft and I haven't looked back. If I had to pick a problem it's that 365 was way better at correcting mispelled words but other than I love LibreOffice!

LibreOffice, since I'm a light user and it's usually available.

OnlyOffice. FOSS, great MS compatibility, more modern than LibreOffice, local apps and runs in web with Nextcloud with great document collaboration options.

I hardly ever use any Office. Docs and PowerPoint are legacy from typewriter age. I use wikis or git markdown in git repos. But if i need to use an office suite, it is google.

I don't know if it counts but I've been using pandoc for the entirety of my college life so far which includes creating presentations and writing papers. For collaboration with other students, we would usually use Google Docs. It's pretty much the standard nowadays.

99.9% of customers use Microsoft Office, so I have QEMU windows for this purpose.
For own work/at home I find I mostly get by with textfiles/markdown and odd LibreOffice spreadsheet.

More and more I find myself using Google docs and sheets. It's nice that I can update things from my phone and easily share with people because everyone has a Google account.

OnlyOffice coupled with a Nextcloud instance. I can't stand the dated UI of LibreOffice/OpenOffice.

I recently switched to only office. I.get a lot of .docx files cos of uni, and I found only office to have the least amount of bugs. Most of the files I got were broken in libreoffice due to reasons I wish I could understand. For note taking I just simply use neovim and write in a markdown file. For presentations I do the same and use marp to generate the slides from my markdown.

Mostly Markdown too, but I wouldn't call that an "office suite". I rarely use classic office suite software. If I have to, LibreOffice and at work I had to use — surprise — M$ Office.

Usually OnlyOffice though I keep LibreOffice installed as a backup as sometimes I've had weird compatibility issues with the former (very few and far between but still)

Latex on VSCode for personal things or otherwise Overleaf for collab. Otherwise default to google docs/Librr Office

LibreOffice and avoid MS trap&trash formats as much as I can

I'm quite happy with libreoffice.

It can be a piece of crap sometimes but less so than MS Office.

With LO I have a passionate love-hate relationship.

The main problem for me is writing in RTL languages (right to left) I have a windows vm only for that use case

I'm using LibreOffice at the moment.

I personally have found SoftMaker's TextMaker to be best word processor, with a backup/fallback being Libre Office. It's got a great UI, good features, and overall is just a good experience. Honestly, the whole office suite is quite good. I definitely like it better than WPS. It's also nice that you can just purchase a one-time license and have support for 3 years, for a fairly reasonable price, tbh. Yearly subscriptions are also available if you prefer that route.

There is a free (as in beer) version, called FreeOffice you can try. It's what convinced me the full version was worth it. My backup is LibreOffice, and while some years ago the difference was stark, LibreOffice has come a long way in terms of support and feature set. So it's definitely come a long way.

I would advise you to consider switching to LibreOffice from Open Office, if nothing else though. Open Office has not received a major update release in close to a decade now, and LibreOffice is truly the successor to it, as it's actually forked from it.

markdown - vimwiki for notes latex, overleaf - for research OnlyOffice - for docx and pptx

I like Libreoffice but it breaks the documents more than OnlyOffice.

and sometimes I have to double check in office365 the presentations before giving them because its always a shared computer with windows installed...

I use Rstudio with Quarto (really nice) and libreoffice

It's Google Docs for me. Even when I don't need its live collaboration features.

Are any office suites as good as MS Office for referencing and citations? One of the things that keeps my wife stuck on windows/macOS is the need for a good Office suite for university
