Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Latex on VSCode for personal things or otherwise Overleaf for collab. Otherwise default to google docs/Librr Office

MS Office at work because they pay for it and it's our platform for almost everything. LibreOffice at home and for other personal stuff.

Are any office suites as good as MS Office for referencing and citations? One of the things that keeps my wife stuck on windows/macOS is the need for a good Office suite for university

I was using LibreOffice on everything but for some unknown reason it just flat out stopped working on my machine so I installed OnlyOffice and honestly I much prefer it.

OnlyOffice. FOSS, great MS compatibility, more modern than LibreOffice, local apps and runs in web with Nextcloud with great document collaboration options.
