I don't know what is this, but LibreOffice fully suffices my needs.

Depends on what you want to do with it...
I don't know WPS, but here is my experience with LO of what works and what not.
- creating simple texts like letters or assignments you don't care to much about. Works
- creating homeworks or bachelor thesis. Works. If the kerning pisses of the prof, even better.
- creating semantical styled rich text: It's actually a nightmare in every office and other software, as there is no proper rich text semantical highlighted software dedicated to it.
- tables: works, as long as you don't rely too much on VBA macros
- presentations: somewhat works as long you don't care for compability, buggy though, so if you do this often
About the rest, I don't know, but who knows if this WPS covers this.
There is literally nothing wrong with LibreOffice.

google docs or office online

LaTeX and git for version control

this.
LaTex is your friend. But you do need to script. LibreOffice is for MicroTards.

It's alright for college stuff when dealing with a few pages of essay work. But anything more and I use LaTeX and style to my needs. I've asked my professors to look at my work and they've never had problems reading it.

Fuck the people that do this.
Check out kile.
It is really good for presentations / reports.
For spreadsheets, use what your coworkers use.
Dumb Linux poster.

This.
Use snippets.
General thing regardless of what you are writing, use snippets.
There will always be things you write frequently, and having this being auto completed is a good thing.
It is far superior to a hotkey.

I haven't really measured it but I guess is just a little bit faster tha libreoffice.
This is only relevant if you use old computers.
I figured I might use this for an old shitty PC only used for showing presentations on the projector.
It loads a bit faster and kind of looks like office o normies dont get freaked out when they see it.
I joined the chink botnet because I am addicted to >muh ribbons thanks to Microsoft. I like it quite a lot. It replicates 90% of the he functionality of MS office for free and it has a UI which didn't require me to learn new icons.

libreoffice is less shit with .docx than word with .odt ,and is as good with .odt as word is with .docx. You should still use .pdf tho. If you think word is supreme to libreoffice by a relevant margin you should use windows.
set up remoteapp on a windows vm and get into MS office in seamless windows via remina
