For 90% of the public that is not attached to a major business, corporation or institution … Libreoffice is more than enough.
And even for small offices and small groups or companies, LibreOffice is more than enough.
The only difference comes when you have to set up a mass system with hundreds or thousands or systems and people to interconnect an office system do the big companies opt for Microsoft office.
The main issue I run into is that even when I use a standard format like ODF, sending a document to someone using a different office suite often leads to various formatting breaking. It’s to the point that if I know the person I’m sending the document to, isn’t going to be editing it, I send it as a PDF.
I felt deceived when Microsoft added ODF file support, only for formatting to still break when exporting/importing from another suite. What was the point if I’d get the same results as loading a DOCX in Libre Office?

Given that it’s M$, I suspect this isn’t a bug, but a feature.
Probably, though I encounter the same issue with other office suites too.
They just need what Collabora and Onlyoffice do, but actually integrated into Libreoffice not some weird online suite.
There’s a desktop edition of OnlyOffice FYI.
Do they have a Flatpak?
Yes, on Flathub.
They also provide a Snap and an Appimage
I will see if I switch then!
In my experience it works really well in conjunction with Nextcloud, I cannot recommend more
If it would scale to enterprise level that’s a game changer. It would lead to Linux just clobbering the pc market space.
I’m forced into Office suite at my work and I have to fight it.
