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.

Not OP, but I like that libreoffice:
Works on Linux without wine/bottles
Isn't 9GB
Has no hooks into 0365 or Office.com or any other web junk I don't need
Can be updated in less time than reimaging a workstation
Doesn't change major elements of the GUI including available options and default styles each major update
I also trust the document recovery options more, and enjoy using 'free' software when possible
