I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.
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.
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
org-mode’s initial goal was to make writing latex easy. It can do a lot more today, I use it for pretty much everything text related.
If you’re interested in trying out Emacs, check out Doom Emacs or Spacemacs.
LibreOffice and avoid MS trap&trash formats as much as I can
LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export… and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄
OnlyOffice, I think it has the most polished UI and the LanguageTool plugin is really handy
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.
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.
I was using LibreOffice on everything but for some unknown reason it just flat out stopped working on my machine so I installed OnlyOffice and honestly I much prefer it.
What makes you prefer OnlyOffice over LibreOffice? I like how OnlyOffice seems to decrease possible format errors, so I tend to open docs in it after putting them together in Libre.
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.
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)
Usually a Harvie&Hudson. I just go for a more casual Sexton on Fridays.
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.
Mostly only need a spreadsheet. I will use anything at my disposal, but mostly Calc (LibreOffice).
Most of my text editing is markdown or actual code, so that is just VSCode or my IDE.
The main problem for me is writing in RTL languages (right to left) I have a windows vm only for that use case
