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

I typically use libreoffice, but if I ever have the time to learn latex I’ll switch, I’ve heard nothing but good things aside from the learning curve

It’s very difficult to learn, you just need to adapt to the Latex style of writing and Latex takes care of (almost) all the formatting.
- KindaABigDyl ( @KindaABigDyl@programming.dev ) 4•1 year ago
I use Markdown (very rarely LaTeX too) in Neovim, and LibreOffice for anything I can’t do in Markdown.
Sometimes I’ll start up the MarkdownPreview plugin I have, but typically I don’t.
If I need to share it, I’ll typically convert to PDF with pandoc or a random tool online if I can’t get pandoc to work the way I want it.

I’d say 95% Markdown + Pandoc for when I make documents. The other 5% is LibreOffice.
When it comes time to make graphs and charts I really like wasting my time so I always try out something new (or old) to get the job done. Last time I used Pygal.
When it comes to dealing with docs from colleagues, it is all LibreOffice and Zathura.

Markdown for myself, Google Docs when I’m collaborating with others, and OnlyOffice after puking a little in my mouth for having received a docx or pptx by email.

I mostly use Libre Office, and sometimes Gnome Office
- rmstyle ( @rmstyle@feddit.de ) 3•1 year ago
Depends on the use case. For my own stuff I usually use LibreOffice, for docx compability I use OnlyOffice and for presentations I use Latex with TexStudio.

TexStudio is a brilliant LaTeX editor! I used it almost exclusively during my studies.

LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export… and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄
- lalay721 ( @lalay721@feddit.it ) 2•1 year ago
LibreOffice, as I’ve been using it from soon after it was forked from OpenOffice and I’m used to it, and I don’t think it’s worth it to learn how to use another office suite when the one I use works fine for everything I need to do. I had tried OnlyOffice on another computer and I was positively impressed, but not quite enough to feel I should switch; in the end I only even use a small subset of the features LO has.
- UrbenLegend ( @UrbenLegend@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
Honestly, I rarely use office suites these days. Mostly either wiki pages or Notion. I still use Google Docs for collaboration sometimes and LibreOffice for the rare docx or odt.

I like Libreoffice but it breaks the documents more than OnlyOffice.
and sometimes I have to double check in office365 the presentations before giving them because its always a shared computer with windows installed…

I’m getting into Linux which ones would guys recommend?
- MarionWheeler ( @MarionWheeler@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year ago
You could try OnlyOffice, I believe it has better compatibility with
.docx
files in comparison to LibreOffice.- Wiredfire ( @Wiredfire@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
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.
- loiakdsf ( @mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•1 year ago
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.
- tabby ( @tabby@lemmy.tabbynet.com ) English1•1 year ago
Usually OnlyOffice though I keep LibreOffice installed as a backup as sometimes I’ve had weird compatibility issues with the former (very few and far between but still)
- ppp ( @ppp@lemmy.one ) 1•1 year ago
I don’t know if it counts but I’ve been using pandoc for the entirety of my college life so far which includes creating presentations and writing papers. For collaboration with other students, we would usually use Google Docs. It’s pretty much the standard nowadays.
- VulcanSphere ( @VulcanSphere@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Mostly LibreOffice, although sometimes also Google Docs (for Collab)
