With due respect, no. Office suites on Linux aren’t on par with MS Office yet (and the latter sucks a lot, but not for the lack of features).

Once you people have finally had enough, Linux and/or Libre Office will be right there. Waiting.

Most of the younger generation uses online office or google docs from what I see.
Its the old fogies that use offline office tools.

None of these support equations in presentations adequately, for instance, something which is crucial for my job. And LaTeX and beamer are extremely time consuming for presentations (even if LaTeX is perfectly fine for long text/articles).

If you want O365, you could try OnlyOffice or OpenDesk (not sure if I spelled it correctly)

Onlyoffice is not sufficient for you?

For some reason it slows down to a lot, to the point of being unusable, with many slides full of equations and also crashed on me a couple of times, so no. And I’m pretty sure my OS and hardware are fine. PowerPoint also may suffer a bit but it’s still usable (although it takes many seconds to save a file, in this scenario).

I don't know why you're being downvoted but that's a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.

There are some tools that can make Linux feel more like at home too for those who want to transition slowly

I did this over a year ago. Man, I love that my computing is boring again. No distractions. The machine does what I tell it to do. It’s lovely! Boring is lovely.
