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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
LibreOffice and avoid MS trap&trash formats as much as I can
LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export... and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄
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.
I mostly use Libre Office, and sometimes Gnome Office
I use Rstudio with Quarto (really nice) and libreoffice
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.
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.
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)
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.
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 using LibreOffice at the moment.
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.
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.
Always used and will be using LibreOffice. It just works for me.
I work mostly with texts, but if I need something office-y, I go old school: gnumeric for spreadsheets and abiword for documents
Usually a Harvie&Hudson. I just go for a more casual Sexton on Fridays.
