I never felt OpenOffice and libreoffice were a decent replacement for MS office. It was too different in many ways and compatibility was never top. Since I moved to softmaker (not OSS), I've been happier.

Libreoffice (and the hot garbage that is libreCalc) is not at all equivalent to the Microsoft alternatives.

Maybe for the HS student who don't know any better.

But it's a mess for business.

My company did a major switch to Linux, then THOUSANDS of tickets complaining about broken spreadsheets and word docs forced a lot of employees to secretly use Google Docs/Google Sheets. We had a company mandate/all-hands-on-deck to find a alternative. And now we have a hodgepodge of other BS, with tribes wanting us to get a Microsoft Office subscriptions, others pushing for forking another open-source suite, web devs building our own spreadsheet program, and accountants still secretly using Google Suite.

My problem is that we work together in Adobe apps at my work. I can't switch to anything else unless the whole organisation does.

I could try to change what they use, but it's a different task.

They indicated that they want to switch, but if work forces you to use Office and Adobe then that is what you're stuck with.

No. No way. Not a single alternative to Photoshop comes even close. Trying to use Gimp instead is an absolute joke. I like Linux but you're fooling yourself with this take.

No no (ok sort of, there is linuxcnc) I mean design for mechanical things
