From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, I agree with you generally speaking until... I've to use MS Office and the alternatives aren't up to it when it comes to collaboration with other MS Office users. Same goes for Adobe and Autodesk.
Been using OnlyOffice for years in multiple companies, haven't had any problems. Word, Excel, PowerPoint presentations, no issues at all collaborating with other MS Office users.
And if you must have 100% MS apps, just use the browser-based apps. My current company is all Microsoft, I just do everything through the browser on my Debian 12 system. Teams, Email, SharePoint, Onedrive, etc. No issues whatsoever.
True, but that doesn’t work for everyone as online MS Office has limitations.
This totally. Every oss office suite I've tried is either incompatible, glitchy or has weird workflow for some things. But ms office is available on the web for free so it doesn't bother me

WPS Office isn't FOSS, but I've never had any sort of compatibility issues with what it produces. And it's UI is way better than LO or Only.
