to create documents, I used LaTeX, but it's a lot of boilerplate for most of the docs... I wish I had used https://pandoc.org/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pandoc-bin/ -- pandoc in the repo will download you a TON of haskell deps)
my university is also really dependent on microsoft ecosystem, so i use abraunegg's onedrive client to handle everything to do with keeping onedrive and sharepoint storage synced, it works great. i also use the official microsoft teams for linux release from the AUR and that works pretty well (no hardware acc video decoding tho :( )
- install `zotero` for managing your readings, sources, citations, etc, it has browser plugins for chromium and firefox, it automatically proxies your college's library login for different publishers' and journals' websites, and you can also link it to sci-hub for stuff you don't have access to plus you can use zotfile to handle all your PDF management, including extracting highlighted passages and your in-line annotation
- i just use libreoffice for everything, but if you're into plain text academic work you can link zotero and pandoc together in `atom` like this , or if you're someone who takes a lot of notes that evolve into finished assignments or articles, try `zettlr` which integrates a markdown editor (including WYSIWYG interface) and previewer with a zettelkasten note-taking apparatus (internal hyperlinks etc) and lets you cite from zotero's library and access PDFs directly as you write, plus can output in any format using pandoc and templates
- it has built-in support for libreoffice and you can add a zotero citation picker to google docs easily, but you can also use better bibtex to interface with anything based around LaTeX or bibtex, including `pandoc` and other tools (next point)
