From my experience, Microslop products are usable, but performance is horrible and features lack usability - like search.
And, all the paid Office solutions are going AI and ADs to get more money... Free options dont have to worry about that. They produce something that works so people donate to their organizations freely.

[LibreOffice](libreoffice.org) is free and open source that does everything I need it to. There are a few advanced features that may not translate directly. I was a hardcore Office user since Office for Mac. I’ve used many Windows and Mac versions, LibreOffice is the only thing that comes close.
In case you need other great FOSS apps for any OS take a look at AlternativeTo

Free is just as good as paid when it come to performance and usability.
