    Same, I had tried Openoffice/LibreOffice in the past and had many problems. Since I got a personal MS Office License very cheap from my employer I used that and didn’t really feel the need that much to look for alternatives.

    Then about a year ago, I reworked some deployments of my self hosted things and added Collabora to my Nextcloud “just for fun”. And I was pleasantly surprised by it. Since that is based on libre office, I had the urge to check that out and realized that it should have everything I usually need. Also I was already dual booting for a while but still hadn’t really switched many “workflows” to Linux, because I was lazy to search for alternatives. This now meant that there was less friction to use Linux as a bonus.
