Committing to ODF is one thing, but transitioning to Libreoffice is a another challenge.
The IT Planning Council is committed to ensuring that open formats such as the Open Document Format (ODF) are increasingly used in public administration and become the standard for document exchange by 2027. It is commissioning the Standardization Board to implement this.
So by 2027, would Germany start exporting their Microsoft Word documents to ODF? Or does this actually imply a full switch to Libreoffice?

"Not only is one German state moving from Microsoft to LibreOffice, but the whole federal government is committing to move to open standards by 2027 "
docx format is mostly open source
Softmaker office is a better option than adopting a slightly more open source format.
having said that:
LibreOffice is decent for basic use cases. It still has lots of papercut issues: minor bugs that degrade the user experience.
I should report more bugs though…
