My wife continued to use Windows for her work because many of her clients are locked into the MS ecosystem. A few weeks ago a Windows update decided to corrupt her SSD and now she has finally joined me in Linux land. Good job Microsoft!

I obviously don't know her exact needs but so much can be achieved by web versions of Office and Outlook that I didn't have issues working with MS-using clients.

Neither web versions nor LibreOffice can satisfy the needs of a true Excel power user. Also, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and multi-account Outlook access are all problematic unless you are using the native clients. Now she runs Windows VMs for that stuff.

As somebody who works as an accountant: The web version of Excel is shit and the desktop version is far superior.

Things like extensions, power query among other things just exist in the desktop app and not in the web app.

That's why I finally made the switch!

You aren’t allowed to stop there. It is mandatory to share the distro she is using, the desktop environment, and what she loves most about it so far.

Even though I'm a Pop user, I put her on Mint Cinnamon because the interface is very Windows like.
