The day MS Office comes to linux (never?) normal people will definitely start using it (or their employers will force them to use it at work).
Unpopular opinion: Microsoft Office suite sucks in UI and UX. LibreOffice is far superior to it.
Counter point: people who like a office suite like it because they know how to use it
Gonna say I hated my experience with some of the LibreOffice apps, especially Impress. PowerPoint (and for that matter, Onlyoffice) is far superior in terms of layout.
I second you brother. I can't find shit in office suit, it's like they hide things on porpoise.
They will move the goal post and complain about something else Linux does or doesn't do.
It is losing popularity
Hasn't Office worked under Wine since forever?
(And if not, what are the show stoppers?)
Newest versions don't work very well. The only over that worked consistently got me read 2010.
I think part of the issue is that it's quite integrated with the system and that makes it harder. Crossover lists 2013 as working, but 2021 as not even installing
2010 is out of support
Also if you are talking about a business they are never going to use Wine. A Windows VM maybe but not wine.
Being OOS doesn't change that they read the last one that worked consistently for me. I'm not recommending to use it, just stating my experience.
Not sure were the business comment comes from.
I actually don't like ms office any longer. I used to use Open Office, and I kind of miss it. But I see your point, businesses still use this nonsense.
