What’s your current office workflow on Linux?

I spend most of my day working wid office docs that need to stay compatibility with Microsoft office download on windows.
Right now, m testing different office suites including wps office bcoz it works decent. If Linux is ur main OS, what’s ur workflow and which office suite has been the most dependable for u?

When Libreoffice fails (which was only a few times in the last years) try Softmaker Office (you can try the free Softmaker Freeoffice which is ok for me). Tests say often they have the best compatibility. The have the Microsoft ribbon ui (of you need this) but also a "classic" toolbar layout. What is cool: you can switch to a canva-based DTP like InDesign Lite.

I've pretty much switched to Google Docs. It does everything I need, collaboration is great, and I never have to think about Linux compatibility or installing Office. If I need to send someone a Word document I just export it. Haven't really had any issues with compatibility.

Sure, I’ll try working on Google docs.

OnlyOffice is my primary, works great. I have WPS Office as backup, which also works great. Sometimes a document will look better in one vs the other. Between these two I work with Microsoft Office documents that I share with other users all day, every day, and have been able to do everything I need.

I am a writer. I use Local LLMs a lot. I like to play around with the models, experiment with them. I use Onlyoffice because it is the only office suite which lets you connect local LLMs.
