General discussion • Re: Wll we get a better replacement option for desktop computer

Doesn't run Excel, so not much good for most users.

LibreOffice, Office365, Google Sheets. All work fine. Although I have a Windows laptop with it installed, I haven't used Excel/Word etc in years. It's all online/browser based.

I think your idea of most users is a few years out of date.

For serious work I vastly prefer Excel running native rather than Office365. LibreOffice read/writes Excel, which works fairly well some simple spreadsheets, however runs into issues with complex sheets with macros or VB functions. For that at home I fall back on browser based even though the GUI sucks. For an OS perspective I am Windows free at home for more than 25 years, still run Windows at work since we are a Microsoft shop.
