Too sad that there is not the Office suite for Linux because it's really powerful
(I do use Open and LibreOffice at work. Personally they are mostly worse in comparison.)

Besides that I don't have a high dependance except for games. And looking at my SteamDeck it's not a high dependency.
If Steam can solve the anticheat and maybe even releases SteamOS as a desktop distro it would be very tempting to switch if I can't get anything else than a subscription or a free key.

In my use LibreOffice is superior

No ribbon UI, better compatibility with .xls files, better python integration

It's very subjective topic but I (personally) think the ribbon menu is way better for usability and can be more easily customized if you don't need some specific tool.

more easily customized if you don’t need some specific tool.

This doesn’t make sense to me
