I use them all BUT MSbs. My Sparky is OpenOffice 4.17. Free Office is on AntiX Alpha1,OpenOffice latest is on Parrot Mate rolling and MX19.3 both Xfce and Kde...Oh.
My LMDE4 runs OO also but a lil older(debian stable-stable)

Ironically my fave is Open Office...just because I've run it since 1997. It themed up pretty too using Sparky 6 LXQt/Openbox.

Yes Libre Office is good MS Office replacement. I use it across all distros and it has everything MS office does.

Strange enough, this has never been an argument for me.

Quick startup, simple access to functionality, the flexibility and the means to intervene wherever I want, are more important. For the interoperability between people, using a diversity of different programs, there is absolutely no solution. You have to try, hope and adapt.

Abiword for text-processing allows me a maximum of automation without the need for integrated scripting
Gnumeric is faster than SoftMaker PlanMaker which is faster than anything else I have ever touched.

Presentations - You make me turn and run, quick and far, by asking me to prepare one. I can give you PDFs, write on flipcharts and whiteboards. HTML... do not underestimate that one.

Graphics ? This is Linux. No Office-Suite necessary.

And if the CEO of a Company wants to install a Linux Based OS on all his workers Machines and no Office Suite is needed, it would be one screwed up Office.

I do not understand this. Sorry.

WordPerfect is still around, https://www.wordperfect.com/en/

For a short while there was a version for Linux, but bent willyg took care of that by makng a $135 million (Canadian) "investment" in Corel and within weeks Corel Linux and WordPerfect Office for Linux disappeared without so much as a whisper.

Ages ago, I used Applixware. The version I was using apparently stopped being supported by newer versions of Java. (Write once run anywhere? Ha!)

LibreOffice for anything that I need to exchange with people chained to the MS treadmill. I sometimes get nervous about the ".docx" format but, to date, no interchange problems. I tend to save in ".doc" format as a lowest common denominator format. Though LO warns about possible formatting problems, I've tested enough documents using the missus's Word that I'm comfortable ignoring the warning. Spreadsheets are an area where interchange problems would be a bigger concern (macros, etc.) but, fortunately, I don't exchange spreadsheets terribly often---though there are people who use Excel for all their communications needs. (IMHO, there's a special circle of Hell reserved for the people who send out a spreadsheet because they have some tabular information to convey when a word processor document with a table would have been more appropriate. Multiple paragraphs of text in spreadsheet cells just because you had a 5x5 table of text/numbers to pass along? You gotta be kidding me.)

If I'm writing documentation, procedures, etc. I tend to use Emacs/LaTeX/make/Okular. I find references, footnotes, figures (mainly output from graphviz), and a host of other things far easier to deal with in LaTeX than in a word processor---especially if the document is large. I'll admit to be biased toward TeX/LaTeX from being a long-time VAX DOCUMENT user which used used TeX as a backend. I got used to writing to it directly using Knuth's and Lamport's books as my guide.

You could put together a presentation made of individual web pages. Host it on the company's internal web site and just page through it via a browser on your laptop while it's plugged into the projector. Though it's cheap -- no Powerpoint license required -- nobody would do that nowadays because it'd be too difficult, if not impossible, to animate the page text like PP can. (I think these are supposed to capture the viewer's interest. Call me a curmudgeon, but, for me, the animated titles and mainly serve to demonstrate how little work went into generating the information being presented and, frankly, are nap-inducing.)

Well, 10 Best HTML/CSS Based Presentation Slides.

I knew that HTML/CSS presentations can be generated, but where I write “HTML“, Generation is explicitly *not* what I mean.
