You don't understand what I'm talking about.
Wine does not solve my problems, especially when DRM or anticheat is involved. It also doesn't work well on HDPI monitors. I have a few ancient Windows programs I've tried to use in Wine that are very hard to read on a 4K monitor, while on Windows they look fine. It would have been ok 10 years ago, but not for my eyes today
When I say "needed to use" it's not synonymous with "there was no other software with similar functionality." It means "I need to create and share documents or files with colleagues, fellow students, and professors, as well as work with them in the same room." LibreOffice is not the solution to this problem, GSuite is. Partially.
Before getting snarky, I encourage you to think a bit more critically about what it entails for non-power user to get up to speed on Linux. The command line is out of the question, reconfiguring a host of config files or buried options and googling through Ubuntu and stack overflow posts isn't a solution, and constantly tweaking things just to get to a point where "double click this icon" works isn't a solution when on windows and MacOS you don't have those issues.
That's what I mean by "there isn't an alternative."
