I have been using Linux for some time now and the only place where I encounter problems is the office suit. Like Libre office basically meets all my needs, but when I share the docs to other people, somehow Ms office fucks it up. I don't know how to fix it.

Check out Onlyoffice. Just the client (not the server part)

WAY better

Ohh... Ok... I will give it a go

Onlyoffice by default perpetuates the problem of using microsoft ooxml standards instead of opendocument ones. We have to set opendocument as the de facto standard.

Yeah it's crazy to me that proprietary standers exists at all but they're everywhere

I would also consider using WPS Office. Unfortunately WPS Office is not Open Source. I had issues with OnlyOffice being unstable. I am still not sure how to self host OnlyOffice cloud either.

You don't have to host only office to use the client. As others noted, it doesn't do anything to combat non open standards, but it does work.
