Right, right. Smh

Onenote, publisher, CAD. Excel (and don't give me open/libre can do it, no they can't. They are marginally compatible).

And a laundry list more of the issues trying to replace windows with Linux on the desktop.

If you work by yourself and don't share docs, yea, could probably work. I need to trust that what I send is what people see.

Try to open an excel workbook with tables on open/libre and see what happens.

Specialist software in general is patchy at best. There are often FOSS alternatives... But in the same way they aren't compatible with what other people are using.
