Distributing to Linux is fucking awful that's why there's so little software made for it and you have to go through centralized, outdated, insecure and unreliable repositories with retarded faggots in charge of your software. (They're not the ones getting spammed with distro specific bug reports, though.)
Appimages, flatpaks and snap never solved anything and only fractured the ecosystem further because they're made by said retarded faggots who don't understand user experience.
You can not care about windows users switching to Linux but you should care about developers disregarding your garbage "OS" because it's a pain in the ass to deal with. (How's LibreOffice, GIMP and Kdenlive going for that professional work btw?)
I have one of those, it's called bash. $ ~/nfs/bin/kicad<tab>10<tab><enter>
and done.
I could add it to my path, but if the NFS server goes away then everything gets more crashy than usual.
Pretty good, considering docx files aren't some mystical encrypted file and the format has been sussed out for around 10 years. LibCalc is a perfectly fine excel replacement and even copies the vast majority of the formulas (I haven't found any that haven't worked so far).
And of course, if you truly require Microsoft Office Software you can just use the professional web versions via Google Chrome as 90% of modern apps are simply a wrapper for the web page. I didn't even bother checking if Spotify or Neflix had a Debian build, I just went on the website and logged in.
I think I know why Linux people hate LLM's so much. You can ask them to solve Linux issues and they just will do what you ask them to instead of berating you for not having decades of experience with Unix-like systems and how they work, which undoes decades of gatekeeping.

I've used LO for some 15 years on and off professionally (whenever possible) and privately—and OpenOffice before that during studies. Except for a few UI hiccups around last winter, it has always served me well.
When I had my own business, I bought an older MS Office 2003 SMB so I could process the occasional Word document from my customers that wouldn't look right in LO because MS couldn't be bothered to use a proper open format. Other than that, I've never had the need for MSO.
Last time I had to use Word (365), it would never keep the formatting. It's pure trash.
Word's web version is garbage. It doesn't even handle simple things like section numbers. I have a work VM that runs Windows and had to ask my employer "Please Saar, may I have the real version of Word?" And now I'm 3% less angry when I need to edit Word documents.
Fuck all of this digital typesetting bullshit. You need nothing more than an IBM Selectric typewriter.
You're not ever gonna write anything that needs to be of print quality anyway, let's be honest.
I must reluctantly agree that there are use cases out there where LO fails. I have spreadsheets at work that would absolutely assfuck LibreCalc. The other Office applications would probably do fine, but Excel is a tough nut to crack for orgs that absolutely rely on monster spreadsheets or funky formulas.
I say this as a man who is 100% FLOSS in his private life and despise that my company sucks Microsoft troon cock for almost everything.

The real gaps between FOSS and proprietary software only start showing at this level of complexity of the user's needs. Pretty much everyone who swears LibreOffice thwarts MS Office says it because their use case is that of a home user where LO does meet their needs, so they blindly assume that'll work for everyone. Thing is that Excel, for better or worse, runs the world, and many companies have spreadsheets that make LO shit itself, and those spreadsheets are mission critical, so they'll have to use MS Office or else they can't do shit. Sure they'd love to save money on those 365 subscriptions, but there isn't any better options out there. There's also the fact that 365, much like the Adobe suite, has seamless integrations between all the programs in the ecosystem that makes working on them so much easier. LO has a better shot at accomplishing that, any Adobe alternatives are lol.
Of course, you can argue about why the fuck is everyone running everything off of spreadsheets, but that's a whole another story, and there are so many inefficient, illogical and downright stupid things do, yet if you tried to change them everything would shit the bed. It's just the way it is. Trying to steer the river with a stick in the name of FOSS is futile and even Stallman knows it.
CachyOS. It's noob friendly, Arch based, and it's gaming focused so you can jump right into being one of the most insufferable shitheads on the Internet. Scream about how every single game runs better than on Microslop Winslop and remind everyone you're using Arch (btw). Best deal on the obnoxious fuckwit market today IMO.

oh yeah i used cachy for a bit before torturing myself with bazzite it was pretty solid. i thought the optimized packages and custom kernel other distros actually wanted kind of set it apart from other arch distros
Then Fedora 44 happened and it assraped Cachy in gaming performance. Those custom patches are a cope, proper kernel contributions that bridge the gap between Linux and WinNT like the improved NTSYNC are what's going to improve the performance, not doing questionable BS to the kernel to get 0.5% more frames so you're now 9.5% worse than Windows instead of being 10% worse, when a decade ago you couldn't even dream of running Windows games on Linux like you can today.
Frankly, I want to bash the faces of every loudmouthed """Linux gamer""" with a rusty hammer repeatedly until they all fuck off to consoles or shut the fuck up. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree Linux shouldn't cater to these cattle. It took me a few clicks in a GUI in Mint to be able to run Windows games, it's already piss easy to get going and it takes zero effort to run software, yet these fucksticks will insists that you MUST use a boutique distro to play games because they run 1% better on it. If you care about performance, JUST USE WINDOWS FOR GAMING. But no, they use Linux for gaming only to ruin absolutely everything on the Internet and make everyone cater to them so now YouTube and tech publications and every tech related online space is ruined to cater to these emotional manbabies. That's the only reason they want Linux to work for gaming, they want to stoke their egos and use one of the most asinine concepts known to man as a personality. Playing with digital toys on a super duper special boy OS (in their minds) so that they can get asspats and upvotes. FUCK, THEM. With rusty knives covered in acid.
