People think it is a must have, but at some point I postponed getting office until I really needed, and use libreoffice meanwhile. It’s been years, and I still only have libreoffice installed.

Me too, haven’t needed office for years. 99% of the time the end product needs to be a PDF anyway, which LibreOffice does an amazing job producing.

Office 365, which I refuse to use for my personal computer.

I still use some Office apps from 2006 (Visio, Project) because they serve my personal needs.

Work? That’s my employer’s problem.

Isn’t using out-of-date apps a security vulnerability? Visio 2006 hasn’t received a security update since around 2012

Sure, but if you’re not opening random untrusted files, or trying to browse the interwebs through it what’s the chance of there ever being an issue?

I was a windows user until last year. Work has me migrated to Mac and at home I just can’t be arsed with Microsoft anymore. I won’t ever install Win11 and with Proton I probably won’t have to.

I need visio. Is there an open source or paid alternative that works on Linux?

Off the top of my head: LibreOffice Draw does what Visio does.
