Windows 11 is great, it's getting a lot of people to embrace Linux

This is true. And valve is great too, the two big camps for not trying Linux are gamers and those that use things like MS office and adobe products. But most people who use word and excel have no idea that likely 100% of what they do is easily possible in libreoffice

I converted their old PCs to Linux when my elderly parents' Windows 10 computers started to get ridiculous slow. They both learned Libreoffice Calc in 1.5 months. I did not teach them, they know more about how Calc works than I do now, lol.

I've trouble getting friends and family to move to Libreoffice. I've been using it for about a decade now but having tried Euro-Office (OnlyOffice fork), I think I finally get it. Libreoffice could really do with a visual upgrade
