Ever since I bought my new laptop a month back I've been running LibreOffice. It seems work very well.
If I need to do some statistical analysis that LibreOffice can't handle I can still just export to csv and use R or Python to do it.
In fact something like ggplot generally solve the template problems as far as my graphs are concerned.
There are plugins for Zotero that work perfectly fine for citations.
And I can also still write macro scripts if I need to.
Much better than buying a subscription to Office 2019.
This updated interface is good, I have a choice between Menu, Ribbon or both together.
Seriously MS Office is giant waste of money lol!
