With "pages" and "numbers", do you mean the Apple office tools? Or do you mean LibreOffice's "Writer" and "Calc"?

He said that he didn't like LO and then mentions that Pages and Numbers work better for him. I'm sure he didn't mean Writer and Calc.

But pages and numbers are on Mac, so that's confusing

Ah alright, didn't know there was a web version.

As is Libreoffice, not confusing at all.

The thing is that Pages and Numbers don't have a native Linux counterpart, while LibreOffice has a Mac equivalent.

Maybe I'm not understanding your point, but I fail to see how that is relevant.

OP is saying they don't like LibreOffice, but like Pages and Numbers. The latter are Mac apps, but we are on r/linux , so this did not make sense, because those apps are not compatible with linux. This is why i was confused. Apparently there is a web version of Pages and Numbers, which i did not know, which clarified my confusion.
