I made the switch around this time last year and haven’t looked back. A few things have taken a bit of effort to figure out, but largely it has been a breeze. I should’ve done this many years earlier.

If you have to use Windows and Office at work, you’re kind of stuck. At home I finally ditched Win10 and found LibreOffice perfectly fine to use. Not everyone can make that choice or would want to have one type at home and one at work.
But it’s okay, Microsoft seems to want to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get. Even making the mistakes they are, they can’t even easily topple the monopoly dependence they built up.
I‘m currently considering Softmaker office suite. It supposedly runs well with Windows formats, which I’m hoping is true, as I have to use DOCX and the like heavily in my work.
As someone who had been doing lots of Excel work with macros, this looks interesting. Don’t need it now, and I’ve adapted to using LibreCalc’s Basic which is very similar to VBA, but still, good to see some true competition now. Looks like they’re mainly aiming for the Europe crowd with the FreeOffice comparisons.
