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.

I use Libre Office. It runs faster than word.
It also has the bonus that is one file has an issue, it doesn't lock up and crash every single other open document in different instances across excel, word, powerpoint, everything lol
I often work in several excels at once, I almost cry every time I have to undo something in a worksheet I haven't made changes to in a while
Linux apps run faster than Windows bloatware I think lol
