    LibreOffice does basically everything you can do in Microsoft, and it's open source and doesn't constantly try to call home.

    Plus, LibreOffice is free.

    In my opinion WPS gives you the closest thing to MS Office. If you are familiar with MS Office you should be able to use WPS right away. This is the main reason I prefer it to OpenOffice or Libre Office

    Don't use it! Apache OpenOffice is a dead project. For many years there's been no real serious updates to the project.

    OpenOffice was a great alternative when it was in really active development. But for more than a decade it stands on the same place without meaningful movement and it is very unfortunate. Rather use LibreOffice, which stands on the great legacy of OpenOffice but is in active development.

    I like Cryptpad as an alternative to M365, where it allows you to self-host your own office suite, which looks like an instance of OnlyOffice hosted in the "cloud" while respecting E2EE and is open source. If you'd rather use the cloud than self-host you can use a public instance or a paid plan for hosting and storage.

    I was using only Libre Office for years on Linux. Now I use FreeOffice and Latex via VS Code the most. FreeOffice is fast and streamlined, the UI is well built and looks good, very compatible with MS proprietary formats. It's also available for several platforms. There's a commercial alternative with more features too if you need support. Just try it.

    the free version is too limited with less features annoying watermarks on PDFs. if you want the complete version with all of its features, it's expensive.

    Calligra Suite's interface kinda resembles iWork (is it still called that?), which would come as a shock to those coming from Office. Unfortunately, I didn't have a stable experience using it on my device running Zorin OS. It also lacks collaborative features.
