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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

OnlyOffice. FOSS, great MS compatibility, more modern than LibreOffice, local apps and runs in web with Nextcloud with great document collaboration options.

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

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.

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.

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 use Rstudio with Quarto (really nice) and libreoffice

I mostly use Libre Office, and sometimes Gnome Office

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.

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

When I'm working on local files: LibreOffice

When I'm collaborating: OnlyOffice

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

LibreOffice, since I'm a light user and it's usually available.

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 LibreOffice, although sometimes also Google Docs (for Collab)

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!

99.9% of customers use Microsoft Office, so I have QEMU windows for this purpose.
For own work/at home I find I mostly get by with textfiles/markdown and odd LibreOffice spreadsheet.

LibreOffice from Flathub.

But if I'm crafting a document from scratch, I use AbiWord, which has been my default WYSIWYG editor since 20 years ago. Most recently, I used it to type the contract I used to sell a house, and to start an LLC.

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

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.

I'm using LibreOffice at the moment.

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’m getting into Linux which ones would guys recommend?

Usually a Harvie&Hudson. I just go for a more casual Sexton on Fridays.

WPS Office for editing office files. LaTeX for writing articles. Emacs for everything else.
