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?

    It’s interesting that you state “is it worth learning?” surely the power of libreoffice/open office is that they are drop in replacements for the microsoft suite?

    I can appreciate that they’re copies of office “pre-ribbon” but that was superior anyway.

      They are not “Drop-in replacements” and are not intended to be. They fill the same ecological niche, but are parallel products, not a copy. Quite different under the hood.
