       @SeaGoatGirl @rychard @ecsd @system76 @purism Note app versions of MS word and excel will not work on linux very easily, however browser versions of the app can still be accessed very easily and work perfectly. Anything that you do on your browser should be identical to anything that you have tried in the past. Gaming on linux has also become a lot easier with Steam Proton and wine

       @ecsd  just wanted to notify if they needed it for work, as some companies require them to use some applications. Especially if they need to do collaborative cloud work with Office. I will second the use of LibreOffice, the devs have really done a great job with it.

       @ecsd I fully agree to that statement. I hate Microsoft, as most do. I personally am still forced to use it, not becuase of the file format, but due to real time collaborative means, as well as sharing different folders with teachers for marking via OneDrive. Formatting sometimes also breaks when it shows up on MSWord, which is quite annoying. I just wish schools and companies can give us more freedom in the software we use. Some people are forced to use Windowsatwork
