   I feel like the entire world needs to take a plunge towards LibreOffice for the good of all.

      For starters, universities and government offices should not expect a proprietary format. Everyone should accept OpenDocument Format (ODF) or a similar FOSS format. MS Office, LibreOffice, OpenOffice and whatnot can compete in editing and rendering open formats.

      Come to think of it, this is a good proposal for EU, thanks for the USB-C, by the way :)

         Can't speak for every graduate program or every school, but when I was in grad school at University of York, we actually used Overleaf with LaTeX a lot, since it allowed shared collaborative editing.

         I liked that because it's still an open format.
