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?

    I personally used it for writing my thesis and for creating presentations. It fit my needs perfectly as there are also extensions supporting it like LangaugeTool or Zotero. For personal usage, it is perfect. In my former start-up, we used Nextcloud with Collabora (now just called Nextcloud Office) and that worked out perfectly fine as well.

    I agree that it can be tricky if you have to collaborate with others that use MS Office, unfortunately. For that I use Office Online or worst case whip up my MacBook and run the normal MS Office suite. But I didn’t have to use it for quite long time now.
