I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.
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
@heimchen I keep easy. Just Libreoffice for everything.
Usually a Harvie&Hudson. I just go for a more casual Sexton on Fridays.
LibreOffice and avoid MS trap&trash formats as much as I can
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!
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’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.
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.
Mostly LibreOffice, although sometimes also Google Docs (for Collab)
It’s Google Docs for me. Even when I don’t need its live collaboration features.
OnlyOffice is the prettiest and most MS Office like, Libre seems the most widely compatible (RTL isn’t really supported on onlyoffice for example)
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.
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)
