I prefer Only Office (Desktop Version) to Libre Office, because

• it does not look like over 20 year old Office 2003
• it uses docx and xlsx as native format which makes it easier for noobs

I heared Only Office has some Russian connections. Otherwise it still is Open Source.

I do not want to start a discussion about Linux since I'm no expert and a million of Linux experts will know better.

But don't all the suggested distros here (as well any user friendly ones in general) rely on the kernel written by Torvald's team. With that team being based in the US and at least Linus himself having acted as a three letter agency asset before, can they really be called privacy friendly or even secure? (I'm talking about the CIA or NSA having had a backdoor into Linux in the past and Linus also having banned Russian contributions last year while not banning American contributions, much less moving the operation outside of the US)
