    I too am in a conundrum. I like the idea of Linux a lot, but pretty much all I use my laptop for is a) Excel and b) very rarely games, neither of which make sense to use Linux for.

    I’ll build a home server at some point and I think that’ll be my start.

      Have you tried Libre Office? It’s an open source Microsoft Office alternative that works pretty great. You can try it on Windows.

        In my experience people who really use excel are always going to need excel.

        Also in my experience excel runs great on Mac Laptops, which are so much better than any other laptop I’ve touched in the last 20 years. If you’ve tried their touchpads you’ll know what I mean. Total game changers for truly mobile computing working without a desk.
