Great alternative to Office with compatibility getting better all the time

Overwogen alternatieven:
Open Source version of Microsoft Word
Opmerkingen: It's Microsoft Office with it's older user interface that we are all used to. And it's free. There is no need to pay hundreds for Microsoft Office when LibreOffice does the same thing but free.
Pluspunten:
It's basically the free, open-source version of Microsoft Word. I have been using it for over a decade now (back when it was called Open Office), before Google Docs even came out. If you need to open a Word document that Google Docs can't open but you don't have Word, LibreOffice is great for that.
Minpunten:
It doesn't open word doc format perfectly all the time. There are still some marginal differences some times. Which is okay, it is not expected to. But it can be great if that could be done.

Not for everyone, but great that it's there
Opmerkingen: It's not easy to specify LibreOffice's niche, and it depends a lot on the technical abilities of the users. For scientific publishing and documents there is LaTeX. Technically also for presentations, but I didn't bother so far. For notes, simple text-based collaboration and even website publishing I recommend markdown. For posters and flyers use InDesign. All of these require more or less experience and reading documentation. I think LibreOffice fills the gap for those who just need a general-purpose Document processor from time to time or use it's web-based version by Collabora to collaborate. While these people could use Google Docs or Microsoft Office as well -- and I even recommend them from a usability perspective -- these come with a significant hidden cost, given the dependencies on Microsoft Windows in the one case and the unclear situation around "telemetry" in both cases, aka. they might spy on your documents, which is potentially problematic. If your documents contain personal or company-internal information -- they almost definitely do -- think twice if you might want to bite one of the other sour apples: Spending time on learning a more specialized tool, getting used to LibreOffice's okay but suboptimal usability, building specialized web-based applications for your use-case, or automating those people who spend their whole day in Excel-Sheets.
Pluspunten:
Well, obviously the main argument to use LibreOffice is that it's released under a free license and therefore free to use, in general. But aside the zero price, LibreOffice plays an important political role that affects companies all over the world: Microsoft Office is the undisputed market leader in native Document software, which effectively keeps people and organizations from switching to free operating systems, since it's dependent on either a Microsoft operating system, or an even more expensive macOS. Given the previous monoculture in this space, the importance of LibreOffice as a free alternative, that can be made to run on any operating system and even be used web-based is outstanding. Writer and Calc, the most important ones, are not perfect but usable pieces of software I would recommend to my mother. The worry about file format incompatibilities with Microsoft Office seems to be much less of a problem nowadays. And I would recommend you anyway to use free document formats inside your organization and PDF Forms (LibreOffice Writer and Draw help you with that.) and HTML sites for everything that leaves the house.
Minpunten:
Bad experiences mostly come from LibreOffice Impress. It works for me to create simple presentations with simple animations, which is everything I need. But even that is kind of annoying: Creating a blank slide involves changing the "Master Background" which is apparently decoupled from the slide layout, which is as unintuitive as it gets, and often starting an itemized list creates arbitrary bullet sizes, indentations and font styles you have to take care of.

Great free and open source alternative to giant companies products
Opmerkingen: Experience is great so far ! I've been using the whole suite for almost two years now and I'm not coming back !
Pluspunten:
It's a free alternative to M****soft's software products which, honestly, makes no sens to pay for in 2022.I'm not interested in the 360 suite as far as cloud hosting my files goes, so edition and compatibility is great with LibreOffice.
Minpunten:
It can take some time to get used to using this software, but once you dive in, there are not many things you can't do as easily as in using other companies pieces of software.

The open source office productivity software
Opmerkingen: Although it is not at the level of Office, LibreOffice is very reliable for word processing jobs on Linux OS. I'm currently using it on Ubuntu, and it works for me. Very minimalist and light, it does the job I need, well
Pluspunten:
LibreOffice is an excellent alternative to Microsoft Office on Linux operating systems. Like Office, it includes applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases. With its minimal interfaces, its tools have many features that allow you to properly perform the different jobs you need to do. In addition, the files designed with Office are compatible with LibreOffice, which makes it easy to work on our files with either one. And above all, it is completely free
Minpunten:
- Not user-friendly interface- Some compatibility problems, sometimes, when opening Office files- Despite the updates, no major changes to note
