So OnlyOffice is not FOSS because of the AGPL additions that can't be met (you have to use the trademark, but aren't allowed to use the trademark). So EuroOffice can't be built legally.

LibreOffice and Collabora Office are in a fight about governance and contributions. The codebase is old.

"GNOME office" (Abiword, Gnumeric) isn't really developed anymore.

KDE Calligra Office is modern and beautiful, but lacking features.

I think I go back to LaTeX and markdown for all word processing documents. But for spreadsheets? I don't know yet. I will check Calligra Sheets, but I'm not tech savvy enough to contribute seriously.

psa:

Wenn #TeXLaTeX nervt, weil irgendwas nicht wie gewünscht oder erwartet funktioniert oder ständig kaputt geht, dann hältst du es aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach falsch.

Bitte Ruhe bewahren und das nächste LaTeX-Hilfe-Zentrum aufsuchen.
Falls es in deiner Umgebung kein lokales Supportzentrum gibt, finden sich Online viele findige
helfende Hände.

Es gibt die Mailingliste(n) auf dante.de sowie hier im Fediverse viele Accounts, die mit LaTeX helfen. Da hat man dann auch einen echten Menschen an der Strippe.
Bitte ein Minimalbeispiel bereithalten.
