I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.

    The learning curve is actually pretty manageable. Took me an afternoon to be good enough to create lab reports for Uni. Creating your first template takes a bit but isn’t super hard. Afterwards you can reuse that and only need to tweak.

    This is the Tutorial I used. For an editor I’d suggest VSCode with LaTeX Workshop. (There’s also LTeX which is a great grammar and spelling checker)

      I second this, haven’t used the tutorial, I just learned by doing in the beginning and than took a course at Uni, which was really good and got me all the way to quickly being able to set up my own templates and quickly get a document done.

      LaTeX workshop with vscode is also great, however if you’re a (neo)vim user already, give https://www.github.com/lervag/vimtex a try, it’s an awesome plugin and works flawlessly, especially when combined with zathura as pdf reader.
