The French city of Lyon has taken a major step toward digital sovereignty by officially starting a move away from Microsoft software. . The city is gradually set to replace Microsoft Office with open source alternatives like ONLYOFFICE and switch from Windows to Linux-based operating systems to reduce dependency on proprietary offerings.

never heard of ONLYOFFICE, any good?

It's entirely web-based (their desktop app uses electron). It is quite good, has no problems with editing Microsofts shitty formats and offers a feature set on the level of office 356 web.

Downside: made by a Russian company which has since re-incorporated in Singapore I think.

It's an open source product, in case you have concern about possibility of malicious code embedded within it.
