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.

Always used and will be using LibreOffice. It just works for me.

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

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

I mostly use Libre Office, and sometimes Gnome Office

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

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.

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.

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.

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

LibreOffice, as I've been using it from soon after it was forked from OpenOffice and I'm used to it, and I don't think it's worth it to learn how to use another office suite when the one I use works fine for everything I need to do. I had tried OnlyOffice on another computer and I was positively impressed, but not quite enough to feel I should switch; in the end I only even use a small subset of the features LO has.

When I'm working on local files: LibreOffice

When I'm collaborating: OnlyOffice

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.

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

Markdown for everything text-related.

I occasionally use libreoffice calc for when I need a spreadsheet.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I'm using LibreOffice at the moment.

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

Onlyoffice and LibreOffice depending on what I do.
Onlyoffice is an absolutely amazing online editor if you integrate it with Nextcloud.

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

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)

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.
