I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.

      as the answers reflect: markdown for simple stuff (sou can convert with pandoc) and libreoffice for the more complex stuff and sheets especially (its preinstalled with most linux distros nowadays). documents of formal nature that exceed ~10 pages might work best in latex.

      LibreOffice and OpenOffice are the two most popular I believe. One will usually come preinstalled on your distro (for me in Fedora it’s LibreOffice.)

      You could try OnlyOffice, I believe it has better compatibility with .docx files in comparison to LibreOffice.

        I’ve been using OnlyOffice and, as an M365 subscriber, would definitely recommend. The UI is also very similar to MS Office which can help new Linux users.

        Anecdotally I’ve also found it snappier than Libre. But then I’m not a heavy office suite user so I’m sure others mileage may vary but it’s a perfect fit for my needs.
