I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.

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

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

    When I’m working on local files: LibreOffice

    When I’m collaborating: OnlyOffice

    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 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

      It’s very difficult to learn, you just need to adapt to the Latex style of writing and Latex takes care of (almost) all the formatting.

    OnlyOffice is the prettiest and most MS Office like, Libre seems the most widely compatible (RTL isn’t really supported on onlyoffice for example)
