For those who come from Windows I'd recommend #Cinnamon
Discussion
I used tens of distros with different desktops and even just window managers for over a decade. I only stopped using Linux a couple of years ago and came back to using Windows. My main reason was, sometimes you just want things to work. Main problem I had was with MS Office compatibility. I could run earlier versions of Office in Wine or GNOME Box. But they weren't as good. I could run the web version, but it's pretty basic, too. Any suggestions?
#LibreOffice
#Softmaker_Office (proprietary, but 100% compatible)
#WPS_Office
or
MicroSoft Office via wine (Try it with #PlayOnLinux)
LibreOffice is good enough, but unfortunately not 100℅ compatible. Especially for large, complex files.
Didn't try MS Office with PlayOnLinux. Tried it with Wine. Wasn't seamless.
Didn't tried with Softmaker or WPS office. Have to try them.
Technically, #PlayOnLinux is a wine frontend with presettings for several #Windows programs.
Though I d recommend a native #Linux program.
