  If you want information, feign ignorance reply with the wrong answer. Internet people will correct you ASAP!
  It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!

  Onlyoffice - because it is FOSS (without being crappy LOL) and, unlike Libreoffice, doesn't break MS Office documment layout (99% of the folks in Serbia are using MS Office so that's what I deal with). It also loads faster than Libreoffice on my computers.

  Honestly, I'm still using MS Office (365, copilot, whatever tf branding it has these days). I really, really want to switch, but every time I've tried in the past, it literally only takes a few documents for the formatting not to properly openable for someone using MS apps (which I will always have colleagues using). Hell, even the online-only versions of Microsoft's apps don't even properly maintain formatting with the desktop versions. It's been a couple years since I last tried, so maybe it's gotten better, but it's not for lack of wanting to change.

  Wps office. I bought a pro license for 9.9 USD per year, I installed in all of my devices without any limited.

  Libre works well enough at home. Anything I need to do professionally usually goes up through Google Sheets/Docs first, or just exported directly as PDF.

  My pronouns are like/subscribe.

  Have tried OpenOffice (back when that was the main goto) and more recently LibreOffice. Happy to take suggestions for a more up to date alternative to try!

  There is also some new-ish EU like initiative on office stuff but can't quite tell what exactly it is

  That alone is enough reason to avoid it.
