Alternative Office suites

I'm not liking MS Office much anymore (and have found it to be a bloated bear for years) so wondering what good alternatives there might be. Haven't really looked at the field in a long time so thinking maybe there are some new options or ones that I missed in the past.

Main use is word processing (stories and other personal writings, I am stuck with MS Office for work) but I do use spreadsheets and presentations a bit, too. I've tried Google Docs but find it kind of lacking. Haven't really pegged why. Have tried both OpenOffice and LibreOffice in the past but not in years. Is the latter still the gold standard for open source productivity suites?

Requirements:

Supports Windows 7 and higher. Linux support nice to have but not essential since I mostly live on Windows.
Reasonable performance on older systems (one of my beefs is slowness on the old laptop I sometimes run at home)
Can read and export current MS Office file formats
Easy learning curve for someone coming from MS Office

Anyone?

(writing-specific products like Scrivener not really what I need since I use this for more than just my writing)

I use OfficeLibre and have no problems with it. Best free office suite out there. I use MS Word for work and I can flip easily between the two.

That's what I suspected. I knew Libre had surpassed its progenitor OpenOffice (it began as a "fork" of that project) but I haven't looked at it in a long time.

Libreoffice has the functionality pretty much other than excel pivot tables/the libreoffice version of powerpoint is subpar compared to powerpoint.
