With due respect, no. Office suites on Linux aren’t on par with MS Office yet (and the latter sucks a lot, but not for the lack of features). MS Office and Origin Pro are the actual reasons I keep a Windows VM laying around (on Arch, btw).
None of these support equations in presentations adequately, for instance, something which is crucial for my job. And LaTeX and beamer are extremely time consuming for presentations (even if LaTeX is perfectly fine for long text/articles).
For some reason it slows down to a lot, to the point of being unusable, with many slides full of equations and also crashed on me a couple of times, so no. And I’m pretty sure my OS and hardware are fine. PowerPoint also may suffer a bit but it’s still usable (although it takes many seconds to save a file, in this scenario).
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted but that’s a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.
Because people here can’t get their heads out of their asses. As simple as that. Who cares, I have “votes” disabled in my end anyway.
By the way, nobody needs a “legitimate reason” to choose a given software instead of a different one and even less needs to justify their choice to strangers on the internet.

Most of the younger generation uses online office or google docs from what I see.
Its the old fogies that use offline office tools.

Onlyoffice is not sufficient for you?

If you want O365, you could try OnlyOffice or OpenDesk (not sure if I spelled it correctly)
