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?

    Why pay Microsoft for an office suite that opens your system up to all kinds of attacks (seriously, MS products are a real security threat) when you can have pretty much the same for free and open source? And who would want all their documents on some corporation servers like Google’s cloud? Sure, convenience, but you can become self-reliant and still have convenience for example by setting up your own Nextcloud. So, yes, of course people use LibreOffice.
