    Idk if this has been proven, but I’m certain that the current desktop versions of Office apps are just Electron-style wrappers for the web versions. I switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago and have found the web apps to be perfectly sufficient

      They’re not. The desktop ones have significant differences, like supporting the same plugins and macros from ages ago, but the web version doesn’t.

        Ah yes, the ol CVE rumble dome. That is a feature I can do without

      My reason to use M$ Office was Visual Basic which didn’t work on Libre Office and that doesn’t work in the web apps either.
