Pop!_OS (Linux)

I do. I’ve used it for many years - back to when it was OpenOffice and I even dabbled with StarOffice before that. It’s not as good as MS Office but it does the job. I also use Office 365 and G Suite occasionally. It’s definitely a good thing that we have LibreOffice.

I use it, still use it today. Honestly I think it's fine, I mainly have gripes about these:

1. There are some weird compatibility issues if someone else is using Microsoft Word to write on the same document as me
2. The slideshow is a bit clunky in terms of how things work...

Otherwise it's alright!

I use it for everything that doesn't explicitly need to be shared or anything that is going to be printed. I needed to print a document as a booklet and LibreOffice had that feature and Drive didn't.

I also keep a baseline suite of apps installed on every machine and that includes LibreOffice.

I used it years ago, but have moved to the cloud for all my document editing needs.

@kurosawaa yep. Handy for machines I don’t need a full ms office license on

I tried to use LibreOffice but couldn't stand the UI coming from Windows and macOS. Honestly as much as it sucks, the either ugly design of the applications or them not being straight up available just had me move back to macOS and Windows.

Yes, on my personal computer. The UI isn't the best but so far I have been able to handle just about anything I throw at it competently. I definitely prefer Microsoft office which is on my work issued PC. Not a fan of Google docs unless im collaborating on something with friends.

Yes, I've been using it (and Collabora) for years! For the most part, I don't trust Google Docs at all, and while MS Office is the business standard... my use case doesn't require the fluff MS Office adds.

I do use MS at work because I have to, and I used it for collab in grad school... but other than that? Libre all the way.

I use it mainly for personal use, and mainly when people send me Excel worksheets. I've also used Calc to manipulate data for CSV merges, too. I've worked in small newspaper office that'll have Macs but don't want to buy Office; unlike Pages it interacts with the outside world nicely.

I've been a user so long that I had a StarOffice license in college so I didn't have to reboot to Windows to work on term papers.

I do, on Windows (boo-womp). It really does the job well, but I need some more time to get used to it.

My main gripe with LibreOffice is just the UI, but that is partially because I don't use it often (negative reinforcing loop). Late 90's and Early 2000's me would be right at home. However, what I use on a daily basis is Only Office that I have in a docker hosted alongside my NextCloud docker. Only Office integrates well with NextCloud.

i just started using it. admittedly, a rarely do, but it's great

Does anyone actually use Google docs?

Now that that's out of the way...
yes, all the time. It's the best for linux 8) Wish theming was better though tbh

I've tried to use it on my personal MacBook before, but the MacOS UI seems clunkier than what I've seen on Windows. Also, I have run into a few compatibility/layout problems with Word Docs and Excel Files. Lastly, the icon is basically just a white rectangle which I find offputting for some reason.

I can get past the jank UI, and use it all the time if my network is too slow to use Drive.

For basic word processing and excel like items I’ve used it and recommend it for others. Especially when I’m on my Linux desktop. I’ve used it for some small businesses as well so they could open and send files for work.

I used it until I had to do a mail merge... it took me 2 hours before I finally gave up and did it in MS Word in 5 minutes. I'd love a libre replacement for MS Word, but not one that has just as janky an interface and doesn't actually do what I need it to do.

Tbh, I use a proprietary office with native Linux support. But I plan to switch back to a Foss option soon.

Sure, used it at a job this past year, writer and calc.

After spending a couple of days to secure a PC to be able to do my job I was not going to spend another week getting them to find me an office license.

Had no issues with sharing documents with colleagues (except excel not parsing a regex from calc) or with the public. Way more issues with people not actually understanding how to use word and excel and do proper formatting. Calc also had a gui method to multi-criteria filtering that the various versions of excel around the office did not.

I also used Impress to edit some PDFs for another older gig. Bit clunky and you must have the fonts used in the original. Just remember a pdf may be a hassle to edit but it is editable and not proof of anything (on it's own).

I don't need any office program very often but LibreOffice is my go-to if I have a choice. I prefer flatpacks for the quickest updates.

I avoid MS Office like the plague. Absolutely hate it. Libre Office isn't perfect, but at least it's not MS Office.

I also like Libre's Excel program much better than Microsoft's. It doesn't crash constantly, for starters.

I use it even on windows. I don't think it is good, one of annoyance is to open a document and discover a photo is out of place (even in odf). but there is just no alternative.

Fortunately, for most of my serious writing, I use latex.
