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 use Calc all the time for work. A lot of our clients send in xlsx files and I can open them and get the information out of them easily. Sometimes I need to build or modify CSV files. It’s a powerhouse for that.

    I stylized my (for print) resume with Writer. Unless I’m working collaboratively I use writer for any documents to be printed. Any docs that aren’t destined for the press are just markdown.

    LibreOffice is very appreciated and I’m glad it’s a standard on most distros.
