FOSS Microsoft Office for Linux (lemmy.world)

Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office for the Linux.

I've already tried:

LibreOffice (It doesn't have the same experience as Microsoft's apps.)
OnlyOffice Desktop Editors (I like it)

What else would you recommend?

Basically the only commits to OpenOffice now are things a full project lint would catch. There are some security updates here and there. Last I looked it’s basically one dev fixing spacing.
