OnlyOffice works with MSOffice files (100% compatibility is a stated goal), and it looks like MSOffice in terms of UI.

I even replaced MSOffice with it in Windows.

It was the straw that broke the camels back to get me to switch to Linux.

That’s my answer too. I went a month with just trying to make basic things work. Had to go back to being productive. Now, I bought another drive and I spend time whenever I have it. Once everything works as i need it to, I’ll switch full time.

I switched to Tuxedo. It solved some weird stability issues I had, which were mostly monitor resolution and layout issues.

I’m new to the world of Linux as a main OS, and I ran Mint for a while, wanted to try KDE Plasma, installed and ran it on mint for a while and blew away mint for a distro with KDE Plasma once I knew it’s what I wanted.

To say I had jank is an understatement.

VMware is not on death row. VMware is already dead. It no longer exists. All that’s left is an entity possessing its corpse.
