There was a fork of Open Office for a while called Neo Office. That, along with the usual mix of Audacity and Ffmpeg, was one of the very first open source applications that I somewhat-consciously started using before I switched over to a completely open source workflow. Open and Libre Office(s) are great projects; I really admire what they continue to accomplish.
AMD seems to keep themselves in a perpetual state of "working on Linux improvements..." and yet never seem to actually reach any significant progress. The fact is, Linux users can use any given Intel or Nvidia card with confidence, but it's still a gamble to try an AMD card. AMD makes great CPUs, but their GPU Linux and Unix support is sorely lacking.
