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?

I remember once reading that one of them (or some other FOSS alternative) was bad for privacy/FOSS, but I can't find that anymore

Not sure if you're thinking of WPS Office (formerly known as Kingsoft Office). It's development is funded by the Chinese government, but although Kingsoft claim that the Linux version is developed by the community, they haven't really published the source code anywhere, so it's considered a high-risk software.
