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 it when I have to, but in fact, all my twists and turns over the years – LaTeX, Obsidian, Zim, etc. – have been caused by deep frustrations with Writer. It seems that when it comes to the handling of direct formatting, styles, typography, each new update has caused even greater problems, for me anyway, to the extent that I can’t rely on the program, not even to preserve the contents of my files.

    So now I do all my writing in Obsidian and then convert to odt for the final touches.
