LibreOffice is preinstalled in Pop OS, and as someone who loves the idea of FOSS I want to use it, but inevitably I just use Google docs or Office Online. Is it really worth learning? Has anyone successfully incorporated it into your workflow?

    Much of my work is collaborative document creation. I’d love to use LibreOffice but try as I might, I can’t work out how to connect it to corporate SharePoint sites etc.

    Working with MS Word on anything but trivial documents is miserable. So many bugs and weirdnesses. How is it even possible for Word to let its documents become sour using its own file format!

    I say “sour” because the documents are still accessible, so not fully corrupted… but over time, weirdnesses creep in such as tables losing their positioning data, cross-references breaking for no reason etc.
