I’ve used LibreOffice (on Linux and Mac) for years. It works great, does everything I’ll likely ever need commercial office suites to do, and isn’t locked into some hellish ecosystem or OS.

Microsoft Office is bloated, slow and a usability nightmare. I couldn’t imagine anything being worse in those regards but somehow LibreOffice has consistently shown me the limits of my imagination.

There are a lot of ‘windows support is ending so change to x software instead’ vibes in my extended community all of a sudden. While this is a great moment to address issues around closed/open source software, it feels a bit off. Open source software is not dependant on/the nemesis of closed source software and risks to reduce the importance of open source software to mere marketing or the very issues open source software tries to address

If your primary need for a computer is managing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations then you'll do well to just get a Chromebook and use Google Docs. It's a cheap, easy, and powerful solution if that's all you need.
