From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

+1 on OnlyOffice, it has 1:1 formatting compatibility with Microsoft Office. Unlike LibreOffice, it doesn't have to translate documents between odt and docx in the background.
In the same vein, OnlyOffice has poor compatibility with odt files etc.
I've definitely notice weirdness with odt files, but truth be told I damn never run into those, everything is xlsx, docx, etc as I'm interfacing with companies that are firmly MS, but they're also none the wiser usually. Every now and again there'll be a formatting issue, especially with Excel, but it isn't too common thankfully.
