Gotcha. Thanks for the writeup, I'll give it a go. I don't do too much with Word, either, mainly Excel I suppose. Sometimes I'll write a script to output a CSV and want to visualize and play with the data. OpenOffice is awful, especially Calc. Last time I tried doing the above I couldn't even figure out how to sort. Not that it doesn't exist, but it sure wasn't obvious.

As for using Linux day to day, go for it! When I started, it wasn't easy. Mainly because you had a lot of SWF out there still, and everything say, like video calling, was an EXE. These days, with the rise of the web based everything, it's a cinch. As much as I despise Electron on principle, it's been amazing for the Linux community. Now we have VSCode, Slack, etc. Nothing requires an EXE anymore, even gotomeeting believe it or not. My biggest pain point was email. Evolution is OK, but not great. I just started using OWA and it gets me by.
