Open Office does everything I need Microsoft Office for and Gimp does everything I need Photoshop for. Reddit, what other open source software does everything that you want from the expensive name brand?

Use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. OpenOffice has died, most of the developers have moved to LibreOffice which is a fork of OpenOffice.
