I did this over a year ago. Man, I love that my computing is boring again. No distractions. The machine does what I tell it to do. It’s lovely! Boring is lovely.
With due respect, no. Office suites on Linux aren’t on par with MS Office yet (and the latter sucks a lot, but not for the lack of features). MS Office and Origin Pro are the actual reasons I keep a Windows VM laying around (on Arch, btw).
None of these support equations in presentations adequately, for instance, something which is crucial for my job. And LaTeX and beamer are extremely time consuming for presentations (even if LaTeX is perfectly fine for long text/articles).
Once you people have finally had enough, Linux and/or Libre Office will be right there. Waiting.

I wasn’t specially speaking to OP, so much as any visiting Window 11 / Microsoft 365 user. The poor bastards.
There are some tools that can make Linux feel more like home too for those who want to transition slowly

If you want O365, you could try OnlyOffice or OpenDesk (not sure if I spelled it correctly)
Most of the younger generation uses online office or google docs from what I see.
Its the old fogies that use offline office tools.

Onlyoffice is not sufficient for you?
