No. That's not good advice, sorry. Open Source unfortunately is not more secure; just much less well defended.

Open source runs Google servers (which your gmail is hosted on). Open source runs your Android phone. Open source runs Facebook & Twitter.

FWIW, you may both be right. LibreOffice is not necessarily more secure than the MS products. But it is probably targeted less often.

If you're targeted, you're a sitting duck. Can't advise journalists to use it. Let's fund security, then we can talk.
