My wife wants to switch eventually but might not be before windows 12

She does 99% of her computer stuff in a browser anyway, and the last 1% is in the ms office suite, which is why she hasnt moved yet

She would like to switch to libreoffice but she is not interested in learning that yet

    Could use the browser versions of the office tools as an intermediary.

    Or just select Windows when booting up. I do that simply for 365 when remote working. Clean Windows install on its own drive and somehow it still gives me grief 🤣

    Today Outlook and Power BI didn't open. Spent about twenty minutes updating, reinstalling, rebooting, and nothing. Had a meeting, reboot, all works again. Silly me never completed the random ritual in order.

    I recommend trying out OnlyOffice. It's free and it's scarily similar to MS Office, to the point where there's no learning curve and it's impressive how they haven't gotten sued yet. Plus, it's got a Windows version so you can try it out without committing to Linux

    I'm not a fan of LibreOffice, even with the GUI tweaks to make it look like MS Office, so I've been actively finding Office alternatives for a long time now. OnlyOffice is by far the best one I've found
