When I need an office suite, Libreoffice is the one I use, but it’s so infrequent that I reinstall writer or whatever part I need at the time and then uninstall again.
The main reason it bothers me is I will see it being updated frequently (and they’re not small updates) - and I’ve probably never ran the thing since the last OS install most of the time.
The first couple commands I run after install:
$ sudo apt install vim
$ sudo apt autopurge libreoffice*
X11 because Discord is unusable for me on Wayland, and I use it every day.
Edit: I recently switched to a 7800 XT (was using a 3080), and the discord problem was either solved since the last time I tried it, or not being on nvidia helps - no more weird input lag etc. in discord, so I’ve moved over to Wayland finally.
I just don’t wipe out /home when I reinstall. Same /home partition, different distro on /
I am looking forward to Wayland being a problem free experience. Well, rather, I don’t care if it’s X11 or Wayland, I don’t want have to think about the underlying system.

For real this is The One for new users. It just works.
I’m not suggesting it’s bad, I just don’t use it much and it’s always preinstalled.
