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.

This. I use LibreOffice at home and M365 at work. It's definitely not 1:1 compatible like most people say. That's not to bash on LO, it's just the reality of it.
I still swear by Excel. While Calc is fine for essential spreadsheets, I run a VM just for Excel because there's no alternative for the advanced tools.
Good to know about the odf extension though. That's a good improvement.
I use LO for all my Office Suite needs. When I have to share with someone that uses MSO, I just run it through Only Office, see if it keeps the way I want to share it, and call it a day. Also, I make sure I have all the MS fonts installed.
