It's true that Microsoft Office can do things LibreOffice can't. Office uses Windows patented technology that was considered dangerous when it was introduced forty years ago. Windows still suffers from virus attacks, which Linux doesn't. I don't trust OneDrive, and have uninstalled it from my Windows 10. If you are dependent on it I don't know of any Linux equivalent, so Linux is not for you. Most people are not dependent on either of those. If you play games probably Linux is not for you, although they claim to be getting better. That's why I have Windows 10 sharing a hard drive with Ubuntu (Linux). I think, since you depend on things controlled by the Microsoft monopoly, you need to continue with Windows 11, no matter how exasperating it is.

Yes, I found out that Libre Office cannot follow say currency exchange rates without a lot of hassle, so use Google Sheets, which makes it very easy.

I used OneDrive for years very successfully, no problems, data available anywhere on any device.

Now gone over to Google Drive, same same. Or MEGA nz is another alternative without using Google.

W11 is MUCH BETTERR than W10 for me, but decided it was time to try Linux after reading and watching Y Tubes. It works perfectly after a bit of learning.

You can actually say which radius you want the corners of your taskbar and windows to be!!!

I have nevertheless decided to give Windows the boot....

So what are you using now please?

I switched to Zorin, up and running, but......................why start learning the sitar after years on guitar, at 78 years old. Back to W11 for me I think.

365 costs about 90 quid and includes 1TB of storage on One Drive, and all the Office apps.

To get enough storage on GoogleDrive or MEGA costs almost the same.

I actually did reply to your question, quite some time ago.

Apparently, part of this thread has been lost.

The short answer is LEAP 16.0

You can easily download and use LEAP 16.0.

However, before you do so:

In order to achieve success, this time, I would advise you to open a session with Gemini, on a separate computer, positioned next to the computer on which you are installing LEAP 16.0.

Start from the beginning, and go through the installation process, beginning with the creation of a bootable flash drive of the Leap image you downloaded.

There is no question that you, or anybody, can install this, and get it running.

It is far better than Windows11, and now, Windows11 is true garbage, after what the company has done to it.
