This might be a stupid question but now that you're on Linux, why not use something like LibreOffice or Collabora?

Libreoffice is the most atrociously structured piece of software I ever encountered. not only is the UI absolutely dated and god awful trash, it can fuck up microsoft office formatted documents. i possess a special hate for it since it decided to crap out on me when I REALLY positively needed it.
don't know about collabora, will look into it
If you dislike the UI, you can turn on an MS Office-like ribbon design in the settings
WPS office is a closed source, Chinese made office suite that is actually really good if none of that bothers you and you can even install ms fonts
WPS is definitely decent. I used to use WPS Office, because LibreOffice corrupted my school document files, but it felt too limited and riddled with telemetry. It never suddenly crashed on me and the compatibility was amazing.
But I have since moved back to LibreOffice because it is more feature complete and more peaceful, knowing that it's made by a trusted and open foundation. LibreOffice might still not be stable since it still often crashes and becomes unresponsive but at least I never got my documents corrupted again.
