Most corporate desktops are built on
OS+Browser+Outlook+Word+Excel(+Powerpoint). If that could be reliably
moved to a Linux distro, you could move a lot of regular users off
Microsoft.

Libre office is pretty much all there. Doesn't do meetings an calendars
. Thunderbird does but not sure about interfacing with others

And Word can Track Changes, again important in many organisations.

I was under the impression that the Linux Office equivalents for Word and
Excel were pretty complete ? If they're missing big stuff like that (with
no plans to introduce it) then again, stop wasting my time with "linux on
the desktop" stories


Of course it has that ability.


With Word, the de facto WP program across the business world?

Let's see (from those who *really* know).

Well there is a comparison here
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/...crosoft_Office

For some reason they compare it to quite an old version of Office and
not to Office 365 or Office 2019.

I am not sure it copes with multiple users editing the same documents at
all well from the list of features.

It quite specifically states that the word processor can't cope with
advanced layouts, like bullet points and various other paragraph types.
